The mandatory details include name and address of the manufacturer, packer, and importers as well as the country of origin for imported products, net quantity, month and year of manufacture/pack/import, best before use date and consumer care details that are required to be printed outside the pack.
There should be mention of the unit sale price which will come into force with effect from February 1 this year, it added.
