Packaged commodities labelling: transitional enforcement and compliance guidance allowing corrective labeling and consumer care clarifications. Most amendments to the Packaged Commodities Rules, 1977 become effective after the transitional period with guidelines requiring wide publicity, investigational survey style initial enforcement (with limited prosecution during transition), and temporary allowance for stickers declaring consumer care details to use existing packaging. Clarifications define 'pre packed commodity' as unsealed packages opened by consumers, permit designation in lieu of a named person for the consumer care cell, allow a single comprehensive label (but prohibit altering declarations via individual stickers), require outer wrapper declarations where dual wrappings exist, accept quantity declarations by number for counted items, and require ice cream net content to be declared by weight.
