Expired food

Sweetshop owners of West Bengal have opposed the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India's (FSSAI) directives to give 'best-before' date to non-packed sweets from October 1. The directive has been termed as “illogical” under the state climatic conditions, since most sweets last only a day. Earlier, the Sweets and Savouries Manufacturers' Association of Bengal has written to CM Mamata Banerjee to resolve the matter.
