उत्तर
- Standardised marks are symbols or logos used to signify product quality, safety, or authenticity. Tara should check for the FSSAI mark for honey and Agmark certification for ghee to ensure quality standards set by the Government of India.
- The damaged seal on Tara's honey bottle breaches her right to product safety. Consumers deserve safe and well-packaged products.
- The four key details a consumer like Tara should check on a product label to ensure quality are:
- Expiry Date: This is the date beyond which the product's quality or safety may deteriorate.
- Manufacturer's Information: Look for the manufacturer's name and address for traceability in case of concerns.
- Ingredients List: This identifies probable allergies or undesired components.
- Standardized Mark: Check for applicable marks, such as AGMARK, to guarantee quality compliance.
