According to Inoshi Sharma, executive director, FSSAI, the stakeholders made representation before the food authority on the issue of ‘milk logo’ with reference to the mandatory nature of its usage for milk and milk products, and sought clarity in respect of textual part, dimensions, and colour scheme of the logo and the consequent need for the extension of the date of compliance with provisions related to the use of ‘milk logo.
 
And, after consideration, it was decided to extend the timeline for mandatory compliance with milk logo order for a period of six months.
