Printing ‘date of mfg’, ‘unit sale price’ on packaged items becomes mandatory from Jan 1

Printing the ‘date of manufacturing’ and ‘unit sale price’ has become mandatory on all packaged commodities effective from Monday, according to Consumer Affairs Secretary Rohit Kumar Singh.

Earlier, companies were given the option to either print the ‘date of manufacturing’ or ‘date of import’ or date of packaging on the packaged commodities.
Now, companies have been mandated to print only the ‘date of manufacturing’, along with the ‘unit sale price’, as per the latest notification issued by the Consumer Affairs Ministry.
