Section 13:47K-1.2 - Butter, oleomargarine, margarine, butter-like and/or margarine-like spreads

(a) For the purposes of this section "butter-like and/or margarine-like spreads" are those products that meet the Federal Standard of Identity for butter or margarine and oleomargarine (see 9 CFR Part 319, 319.700) except that they contain less than 80 percent fat and may contain other safe and suitable ingredients.

(b) Butter, oleomargarine, margarine, butter-like and/or margarine-like spreads shall be offered and exposed for sale and sold by weight.

(c) Oleomargarine and margarine are not permitted in multiples of one pound, 500 grams, or multiples of 500 grams because Section 407(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 301 et seq., prohibits margarine and oleomargarine packaged in sizes greater than one pound.

(d) Packages subject to Federal regulations regarding the declaration of the net quantity of contents in inch-pound and or System International (SI) metric units shall conform to such regulations. Packages not subject to such Federal regulations shall bear a statement of the net quantity of contents in either inch-pound or SI-metric units.
