Section I-253 - Misbranding-Assorted Foods [Formerly 49:2.0260]

A. Labels of food packages shall be exempt from compliance with the requirements of Section 608 (9) (b) of the Act if the container is so small that the label when extended over the area available for label space is of insufficient size so that all words, statements and other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label cannot be so placed on the label as to comply with the requirements of Section 608 (6) of the Act and §215 with its subparagraphs. This exemption shall be on the condition that if the statement of the quantity of contents is omitted as authorized by §235. A. 2 under Section 608 (5)

of the Act, and this omission will allow sufficient space to include the information required by Section 608 (9) (b) even though the statement is not so conspicuous as to be likely to be read by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase then the statement of the quantity of contents shall be omitted and the information required by Section 608 (9) (b) of the Act shall be stated as prominently as is practicable.
