A firm responsible for supplying ghee to the famous Tirupati temple has found itself embroiled in a controversy regarding the quality of the ghee used in making the revered laddus. Concerns have been raised over whether the ghee met the required standards, sparking a debate among devotees and authorities.
Firm Defends Ghee Quality
In response to the allegations, the supplier firm firmly defended the quality of their product. According to the company, all samples of the ghee provided to the temple underwent rigorous testing at national laboratories before being approved for use in laddu preparation.
National Lab Tests Passed

The firm highlighted that the ghee samples were sent to government-recognized labs, where they successfully passed all quality checks. The company emphasized that these tests ensured the ghee was of the highest quality and suitable for consumption, in line with the standards expected by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), the trust that manages the temple.
Public Concerns Over Product Quality
Despite the firm’s assurances, concerns from the public and media continue to grow. Devotees, who hold the laddus in high regard, have expressed worry over the ingredients used in their preparation. Some have called for further transparency and a re-evaluation of the suppliers involved.
TTD Responds to Allegations
In the wake of the controversy, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams has stated that they are conducting their own investigations into the matter. TTD assured devotees that only the best ingredients are used in laddu preparation, and they are committed to maintaining the quality and sanctity of the offerings.
Awaiting Further Clarification
As the debate unfolds, both the ghee supplier and TTD are under pressure to provide more detailed clarifications. The devotees await the outcome of the investigations to ensure the continuation of the time-honored tradition of distributing Tirupati laddus with the highest quality standards.
