(a) Labels are required on inspected and passed products placed in containers or coverings in accordance with 9 CFR section 317.1 (2006).(b) Fresh products packaged for retail sale shall conform to the labeling requirements of this article except that their labels do not require the official mark of inspection.(c) Bulk product displayed unwrapped or in clear packages that require a meat processing establishment employee to serve the customer by bringing the product to the customer, i.e. a service sale, does not require a label on the packaging or container of product. Clear plastic or shrink-wrap is considered a protective device, not a container, in this case. (1) If bulk product is not on display, it must be wrapped in the presence of the customer to be considered a service sale not requiring full labeling. Sale of product pre-wrapped in butcher paper or similar opaque wrap is not considered a service sale and such product shall be fully labeled.(2) The display for bulk product sold by service sale shall have a placard identifying the product and, if the product is fabricated with two or more ingredients, a list of product ingredients.(d) Products sold in a manner that allows customers to serve themselves by direct access to the product (self-service sale) shall be fully labeled.(e) Meat and poultry products processed under USDA Meat and Poultry Inspection and repacked in a meat processing establishment shall be labeled. However, the label does not require a mark of inspection.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 3, § 909.1
