Sweetmeat sellers across the State have strongly opposed the new guidelines enforced by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.The FSSAI has made it mandatory for confectioners to display the manufacturing and “best before dates” on their non-packaged sweet items with effect from October 1 to ensure food safety.
However, sellers have unanimously opposed the decision saying this would cost them more during this crisis situation. At a meeting held here recently, the vendors under the banner of the Utkal Mistanna Byabasayee Samitee said it is impossible on their part to do the additional work as their shops are running short of manpower due to the pandemic.
“All confectioners have incurred loss due to the pandemic. There is shortage of manpower also. At this time, it is not possible on our part to take in additional manpower to execute the new guidelines,” said Samitee president Bimbadhar Behera.
The Samitee has also asked as to why the guidelines have not been issued for those selling bakery items at high prices and making good money.
