Epidemiological studies have proven the threats associated with the food commodities either as raw or packed after processing. Tetra pack milk (TM) and tea whiteners (TT) are increasingly used in the last decade in all social circles due to ready to drink or use in Pakistan. This bifocal investigation has provided a clue regarding imbalance in the levels of sodium and potassium. The study of microbial activity based on the colony forming unit CFU/mL of fungi and bacteria have been measured in the ranges of 4 - 28 and 68 x 10-4 322 x 10-4, respectively, whereas 36 % Tetra pack milk and 25 % tea whiteners showed the presence of Gram negative bacteria.
