Section 02.04.13.014 - LABELING
01.Applicability. Section 014 applies to holders of Raw Milk Permits.
02.Requirements. All raw milk and raw milk products must have Department-approved labeling, with the exception of containers provided by customers. All bottles, containers, and packages enclosing raw milk or raw milk products must be conspicuously marked with the following:
a. The word "raw" must precede the name of the product;
b. The quantity of contents;
c. The name and address or permit number of the permit holder; and
d. When applicable, the word "goat" or "sheep" must precede the name of the raw milk or raw milk products.
03.Product Warning. All raw milk dairy product labels must contain the following language:
a. "WARNING: This product has not been pasteurized or inspected and may contain harmful bacteria. Raw milk, no matter how carefully produced, may be unsafe."
b. The warning shall appear within a heavy borderline in a color sharply contrasting to that of the background. The signal word "WARNING" shall appear in capital letters of ten point type or greater. The remaining text of the warning shall be printed in capital letters of six point type or greater.
04.Commingled Milk Label. The label of raw milk or raw milk products containing milk from commingled species must identify the species from which the raw milk was obtained.
05.Misleading Labels. It is a violation of these rules to use any misleading marks, words, or endorsements on the label. Registered trade designs or similar terms on the bottle cap or label may be used if the Department determines that the designs or terms are not misleading and do not obscure the labeling required by these rules. Any misleading labeling on the final container will cause the product to be considered misbranded.
