In the USA, food items must have labels with legal statements (ingredients and expiry date and such). Some bulk packages only have the label on the box, not on the individual items. So it's illegal to sell the items by themselves, since they don't have the proper labels on them. I believe it's the same or similar in some other countries.
Seems silly for "just" a label, but without it you have no idea what is in them or when they will expire. That Indian bodega owner might be selling you shit that expired 6 months ago.
