Food and packaging defect

File complaint before District Consumer Commission having jurisdiction against dealer and manufacturer and mentioned facts regarding your grievances.Claim compensation towards defective products and mental and physical apney caused to you.

The Manf is liable for punishment under package commodity rules. You can complain to Legal Metrology Dept . If no action is taken you can approach Dist Commission under C.P.Act against the Manf.

As per your concern, it's advisable to report to the matter to a Consumers Court which has competent jurisdiction over the matter (i.e. either over the distributor or over the manufacturer).

You can produce the photos you clicked earlier as an evidence, whenever the hearing takes place. In addition to this, you shall also reported the incompetency of the manufacturer when the concerned matter was brought forth to his attention.

Hope It Helps!

Very well analysed, opined and explained by experts, I endorse the same.

You should approach all the 3 authorities i.e., District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Food and Safety Department as well as Metrology department for deficiency of service and selling products without compliance of mandatory requirements.

First make a complaint to Legal Metrology dept as they have such authority to investigate these cases.  (previously weights and measures)

Consumer grievances forum has no jurisdiction as there is no purchase and no monetory loss or claim are involved, the proper authority to approach is the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India.

The query was: MOONG DHAL from a distributor and I found that the Date of manufacturing/Date of Expiry/Maximum Retail Price were not printed in the same packet.

 

Is not the issue too trivial?
