The Solvent Extractors Association had brought the notice of the Legal Metrology, Department of Consumer Affairs in the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution about some edible oil companies resorting to an unfair practice by packing 1 litter pack at higher temperature then room temperature (30 degree C) thereby offering lesser weight to consumer. The Association had further suggested to standardized packing condition so that uniform weight-mass of oil is always offered to consumer and is not short charged. The Legal Metrology Department has considered the suggestion made by the Association and issued an Order dated 15th July 2022 requiring manufacturers of Edible oil, Vanaspati, Non-edible vegetable oils to mention Volume and Weight of the content in the package and not to mention the Temperature at which the commodity is filled thus protect the interest of the consumers & also provide an even playing field to all the manufacturers and packers of edible oils.
