( i keeping 7 peace of bread for examination test and speciman. ( for testing)

and i want to complain in DEPARTMENT OF FOOD & CONSUMER PROTECTION (BHOPAL)
my mob. no. is [protected].
e-mail. [protected]@gmail.com

The problem still continues-there is still no date of manufacture on the packects of readymade chapatis. In fact, it is not possible even to decopher the "best before" date. There being no e-mail address also on the packets-just a tel. no.-thereby denying consumers the right to reach the manufacturer through an identified contact point.
So much for the control of the Ministry of Consumers Affairs!

sir,
i am very much dissatisfied about the no mentioning of date of manufacturing of the brown bread.

i hope the govt. of india shall see to it.

I purchased mordern bread in Bangalore. My observation was same, no mfg. date. Its not even the same good taste that I used to enjoy few yrs back in Mumbai. I found the bread very dry and powdery.

I was surprised to see that this post is started in april 2009, and still no actions taken. Is anyone even reading this. I've started to doubt the credibility of this site now.

Email id is gandhirahul.[protected]@yahoo.com

i chandan dutta regular purchaser of modern bread, till now i have no complaints with this bread, but due to irregular supply in my local area i have n't get the such a good type of bread, my resident place at kolkata, p.o lake town, pin 7000089.

I have been using Harvest Bread since last 10 years. Now from some time I noticed that they are not mentioning date of manufacturing on the packet. and only stamping that best before...

Every body knows that no body can give assurance that this bread will be in good condition for such a period. and the retailer says do not sorry if you feels the bread is not good then returned to us and we will returned it to the supplier. It means the supplier will re wrapped it and again sale in the market.

I want to know what is the food safety and bakery laws says in this regards.

SHOULD EVERY FOOD/BAKERY ARTICLES HAVE THE DATE OF MANUFACTURING ?

Thanks

Sir I (rajarojasupermarket) from maraimalainagar, chennai603209 phone [protected], [protected] there is no proper supply of bread. We have more enquiries, even urn Representative is unavailable
So please make an arrangement for proper supply

In fact today I just bought a modern brown bread and it had plastic wrapper on it..
As I suppose the pics will

I had purchased a pack of Modern Bread recently and opened it within the expiry date. But I found that it contained a lot of fungus. I called up at the Chennai phone number provided on the wrapper and lodged my complaint immediately. I got a call from some 'quality control' person assuring me of action. But I am yet to hear from him again. I'm really appalled by the attitude o[censored]nilever. It cannot get away with poor quality control in other countries. Just because our laws are lax, it gets away with inferior products and apathetic attitude towards the consumer.

I have been writing in newspapers about this lacuna since long but no reply from Bread manufacturers. Writing "Best Before Date" instead "Manufacturing date" over the Bread wrapper is beneficial to Bread manufacturers.
Suppose on a particular day (say 1st May) the bakery bakes 5000 loaves then they can pack same bread in wrappers of different "Best Before Dates" ie 5th May, 6th May 7th May 8th May, and even 9th May and distribute for entire next week. Thus consumer can get 8-9 days old bread without violating the Legal Metrology package rule. In case they choose to write "Manufacture Date" then they have tu use only wrapper having this date, because consumer will not accept bread with future Manufacture Date. This is probably only packaged food item without MF Date.
