'Use by date' mandatory for loose sweets in UP
The Uttar Pradesh Food Safety and Drug Administration Department has mandated that all loose sweets sold across the state must display a Use by Date or expiry date starting October 15. This new rule is crucial for loose sweets, as they have not been subject to mandatory expiry date guidelines until now. Inspections revealed many sellers do not clearly inform customers about the manufacture date and expiry date of their sweets, leaving consumers unable to make informed decisions about freshness and shelf life.
The department believes displaying the Use by Date will help consumers make better decisions about the quality and safety of the sweets they purchase.
