Soaps, Shampoos, And Toothpaste To Carry Veg And Non-Veg Markings
· India · NDTV, Indian Express
Personal care products sold in India including soaps, shampoos, and toothpaste will soon feature mandatory vegetarian and non-vegetarian origin markings. The new rules aim to provide transparent information regarding animal-derived ingredients used in everyday cosmetic and hygiene items. Manufacturers must clearly indicate the nature of the product's formulation on the packaging.
