A dairy, which failed to mention the expiration date on the label of its dairy products, has been fined Rs 300,000.
A market monitoring team from the Department of Commerce Supplies, and Consumer Protection imposed a fine of Rs 300,000 on a dairy in Bhaktapur on Monday.
The monitoring team found that the dairy had not complied with labelling regulations and had re-packaged old milk without indicating the new packaging date for distribution to the market.
