About six in 10 customers availing services from quick commerce and ecommerce platforms have reported non-compliance with displaying best before dates and shipping products close to expiry dates.
Platforms such as Meesho, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, Lenskart, JioMart, Myglamm, Snapdeal, and Decathalon are among the non-compliant companies.
The concern has been escalated to the Department of Legal Metrology and Central Consumer Protection Authority for enforcement action.
Companies like Tata Neu, Flipkart, Myntra, AJIO, and BigBasket are fully compliant in displaying the best before date, while others such as BigBasket Now, Amazon, Amazon Fresh, and MilkBasket are partially compliant.
