Food Safety & Standards (Packaging & Labelling) Regulations, 2011 require that no Pre-packaged food product can be sold without having a label with all the required information mentioned on it. Food Labelling is the legal requirement that a food business operator has to follow but for a consumer, a label on the food product is like the face of the company where a consumer may accept or reject the product by just looking at the label only.
The information given on the label can be clearly seen and examined by the food authorities to check if the prepackaged food product is meeting the labelling requirements.
Food Safety Helpline would like to invite you to participate in the quiz ‘Test Your Knowledge on Food Labelling’. While there are various guidelines defined under the regulations for the prepackaged food products, we have come up with a quiz of 20 questions on the labelling information in compliance to FSS Act, Rules & Regulations.
