Important update for sweet buyers in UP: New government rule…

There is important news for those buying sweets in Uttar Pradesh. Now, simply asking the price when purchasing loose sweets at a shop will not suffice; shopkeepers will be required to provide information regarding the product’s shelf life—specifically, the ‘use-by date.’ The Uttar Pradesh government is making it mandatory to display the ‘use-by date’ on loose sweets starting October 15. Currently, expiry or ‘use-by’ dates are provided only for packaged food items, but now, this information must be disclosed for loose sweets as well. Reactions to this government decision are coming in from both shopkeepers and customers; shopkeepers state they will comply with the ruling, while customers are welcoming the move.
