Section 50-I. Labeling of melloream and vegetable oil blends  


Latest version.
  • Whenever the
      brand name of melloream or a vegetable oil blend, as defined in  section
      fifty-f,  appears  on the container so conspicuously as to be seen under
      customary  conditions  of  purchase,   there   shall   immediately   and
      conspicuously  precede  or  follow the brand name or product designation
      without intervening written, printed or graphic  matter  in  letters  at
      least  one-third  of  the  size  of  the brand name and on a contrasting
      background,  any  one  of  the  following  statements:  "melloream,"  "a
      vegetable  blend," "a vegetable oil product," "not a dairy product," and
      the words "milk," "cream," "half and half," or "a mixture  of  milk  and
      cream"  shall not be used on the package label of melloream or vegetable
      oil blends except to the extent that there  shall  also  appear  on  the
      label an accurate list of ingredients. In the event that a product under
      this  section  shall  contain  an ingredient which has been derived from
      milk or a milk by-product or during its formation has  used  milk  or  a
      milk by-product, the ingredient labeling shall after specifying the name
      of the ingredient, place in parentheses the words "milk derived".
        Persons  or  corporations  offering  such products for sale shall upon
      request by the commissioner submit to him evidence  in  support  of  any
      nutritional  claims made for such products through advertising, labeling
      or public announcement, and failure to submit such evidence or to revise
      such claims in  the  manner  suggested  by  the  commissioner  shall  be
      presumed  to  be  a  misbranding  of said products within the meaning of
      section two hundred one of this chapter.
