Safety Stickers to Be Mandatory on Liquor Bottles by September 15

COLOMBO (News 1st) - The Excise Department has received an official directive from the Parliamentary Committee on Ways and Means, stipulating the compulsory application of safety stickers on all liquor bottles by September 15, 2023.

Local production companies have been duly notified to ensure the affixation of safety stickers on their products by the 15th of September this year.

This initiative has been undertaken to counter the proliferation of counterfeit liquor bottles in the market, as numerous locally produced alcohol containers currently lack the necessary safety stickers.
