PUNE: Indian made overseas liquor bottles in Maharashtra will quickly carry the disclaimer, "Consumption of alcohol is injurious to health. Be safe. Don't drink and drive". Country liquor bottles will carry the similar disclaimer in Marathi.
The excise division has issued a notification to liquor producers for buying the brand new labels licensed sooner than April 30. Sources mentioned the brand new labels would need to be used on any alcohol inventory produced after April 1. The corporations would, then again, not be expected to change the labels at the stocks already produced and dispatched.
An excise division notification, issued on March 19, mentioned all alcohol, beer and wine producers must compulsorily print the labels with the disclaimer.
An excise division official mentioned the rules would also be applicable to liquor bottles attaining Maharashtra from other states in addition to the imported ones.
Statutory warnings on all liquor bottles quickly
The excise official mentioned the Food Safety and Standards (Alcoholic Beverages Standards) Regulations, 2018, was once notified on March 19 closing 12 months. One regulation specified the requirement of the statutory caution — Consumption of alcohol is injurious to health. Be protected. Don’t drink and pressure — at the label of alcoholic beverages. A transition length, to comply with the laws, was once supplied up to April 1, 2019.
The official mentioned the department has to this point received one label approval utility from a liquor manufacturing manufacturing unit in the Pune district. The other 3 factories will ship the programs quickly.
A supply in an alcohol manufacturing company mentioned mass printing of the labels can be finished after registration of the brand new labels. “By the time the brand new labels are received and the bottles (with the brand new labels) are produced and dispatched, it is going to be a good 10-12 days,” he mentioned.
A couple of other corporations mentioned they've began the label registration process.
A top supply mentioned because the FSSAI notification came out almost a 12 months ago, many makers had seen this coming and had enhanced manufacturing sooner than April 1. “Since March has been an overly lean month on the subject of gross sales, numerous unsold inventory is lying with the vendors and corporations. By the time those stocks finish, the companies might be able with bottles bearing new labels,” the supply mentioned.
“There are even font-size specs. The label has many legends and there's hardly any scope to print any further. Printing the disclaimer, that too in a specific font size, is causing some difficulties,” a supply mentioned.
