Animal fat is found in the ghee used to make tirupati "laddus," which has sparked a political battle between the ruling tdp and the ysr Congress. The question that then arises is whether animal fat smells when combined with food, including laddus.
 
While stunned followers across the globe watch the "Laddu saga" unfold, specialists think the report implies adultery, albeit it is impossible to identify the adulterant with certainty. Check out the below tweet for clarification,
 
Despite the absence of evidence, food scientist Neha deepak Shah thinks the report suggests adulteration.

“EST findings show that sample AB021253 does not match the ‘Fatty Acid Profile, ß-Sitosterol, and Purity of Milk Fat’ requirements. According to the FSSAI study, the presence of ß-sitosterol in ghee may indicate contamination from vegetable fats such as soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, wheat germ, maize germ, cotton seed, coconut, palm kernel fat, palm oil, ‘beef tallow’, and lard. So, based on this lab report, no one can determine what the adulterant is. There are multiple possibilities of what the adulterant can be. Adulteration typically involves the use of less expensive sources, such as palm oil and hydrogenated vegetable fat,” says Neha.

Food scientist Ruchi Shrivastava feels that animal fat cannot be covered by any kind of ittar (scent). "I can tell you that animal fat is not suitable for laddus since they are such delicate besan products. It will smell if used. Thus, it is not possible," she states.
 
The pure sanctity of "laddu prasadam"
 
To the delight of all devotees, the tirumala tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) are dedicated to preserving the holiness of Laddu Prasadam in the face of apprehensions among them over the purity of ghee used in the well-known tirupati "laddu prasadam."
