Andhra Consumer Commission Orders Rs 18,000 Compensation Over Ice Cream Label Violation
An Andhra Pradesh District Consumer Commission ordered ice-cream manufacturer Jyothi Food to pay Rs 18,000 after a consumer alleged illness from nine ice creams bought for Rs 260 that lacked batch numbers and manufacturing dates. The commission found this omission violated the Legal Metrology Act and constituted unfair trade practice. While the consumer reported symptoms and a local doctor suggested food poisoning, no medical records were provided. The manufacturer denied the allegations, and the commission awarded Rs 15,000 in compensation plus Rs 3,000 in costs.
