Traditional meat products like Haleem play a pivotal role in the culinary landscapes of Indian consumers, along with high economic value and business potential. Due to anticipated gains associated with adulterating 'Haleem' and constant evasion from regulatory oversight, the susceptibility to adulteration has substantially increased. Furthermore, no reports/surveillance regarding their labelling compliance has been reported. Hence, we conducted a 2-year surveillance using 100 samples collected from Hyderabad, India, using the Chipron™ DNA macroarray analysis technique. The method was validated for sensitivity (1%), specificity, and with proficiency test samples. Following this, the surveillance samples (beef, chicken, and mutton Haleem) were tested. The surveillance revealed an alarming adulteration of 46% of the samples, with different proportions of adulterant species. Adulteration of unconventional meat like camel meat was also found. These concerning results necessitate the requirement of stricter and constant regulatory surveillance to safeguard consumer trust and preserve the authenticity of traditional meat products.

像哈勒姆（Haleem）这样的传统肉类产品在印度消费者的烹饪领域中扮演着关键角色，同时具有很高的经济价值和商业潜力。由于掺假“哈勒姆”可预期的收益以及持续逃避监管，其掺假的易发性大幅增加。此外，尚未有关于其标签合规性的报告/监测。因此，我们使用从印度海得拉巴收集的100个样本，采用Chipron™ DNA宏阵列分析技术进行了为期两年的监测。该方法经过了灵敏度（1%）、特异性验证，并使用了能力验证测试样本。在此之后，对监测样本（牛肉、鸡肉和羊肉哈勒姆）进行了检测。监测发现46%的样本存在令人震惊的掺假情况，掺假物种比例各不相同。还发现了骆驼肉等非常规肉类的掺假情况。这些令人担忧的结果需要更严格和持续的监管监测，以保护消费者信任并维护传统肉类产品的纯正性。
