The Tamil Nadu Consumer Organisations’ Network has urged the Centre not to extend the deadline for traders to register themselves under the Food Safety and Standards Act beyond August 4. A consultative meeting of the network held here recently, said though some changes could be introduced in certain clauses of the Act to meet the ground situation, no extension of the deadline should be given.
It is the only law now to protect the interests of consumers, the network observed in a resolution adopted at the meeting. It called for the appointment of a Food Safety Commissioner to supervise the implementation of the Act in the State.
