The mark which the consumers should check while purchasing a tetra pack of pure desi ghee is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Agmark
Option (1) ISI — Incorrect. The ISI mark shows that an industrial product, such as an electrical appliance, meets the standards of the Bureau of Indian Standards.
Option (2) BIS — Incorrect. BIS is the Bureau of Indian Standards itself. It certifies industrial goods through the ISI mark and gold jewellery through the BIS hallmark. It does not grade farm produce.
Option (3) Agmark — Correct. Agmark is the quality certification mark for agricultural products. Desi ghee is made from milk, a farm product, so its quality mark is Agmark. Checking for the right quality mark before buying is one of the responsibilities of a consumer.
Option (4) Woolmark — Incorrect. This mark is for products made of pure wool. It has nothing to do with food.
Note: The current NCERT book (2026-27) shows the Agmark logo among the marks that indicate quality, but it does not say what the mark certifies. The pre-rationalised NCERT explains it under the Agricultural Produce (Grading and Marking) Act, 1937. Hence the extract for this question is from the pre-rationalised NCERT.
