From Chips to Maggi, the packing of all food items will change, this information will have to be given in front
From chips, Maggi, Namkeen to all the food items packing is going to change soon. Soon the government is preparing to implement a new rule, under which information about which things have been mixed in the product will now have to be given on the front side of the packet.
The Ministry of Consumer Affairs proposes to mention the percentage of major components of a product on the front side of the packing. Suggestions have been sought from various parties on this proposal by the end of this month.
information about two or more components
Under this, the percentage of two or more major components used in making the product will have to be clearly mentioned on the front. The Ministry observed that many manufacturers and importers are not disclosing the key components information on the front, which is necessary in the interest of consumers. It is also a violation of consumer rights.
Will have to tell the percentage of the ingredient
The ministry said on its website, “Declaring a special point of sale or special offer of sale (USP) of a product on the front side of the package without the percentage of its constituents is against consumer rights.” It is proposed to amend the Metrology (Packaged Commodities), Rules, 2011 to incorporate certain bye-laws in it.
