Section 720.40  Food

 

a)         Food:  Labeling; Misbranding.

 

1)         Among representations in the labeling of a food which renders such food misbranded is a false or misleading representation with respect to another food or a drug, device or cosmetic.

 

2)         The labeling of a food which contains two or more ingredients may be misleading by reason (among other reasons) of the designation of such food in such labeling by a name which includes or suggests the name of one or more but not all such ingredients, even though the names of all such ingredients are stated elsewhere in the labeling.

 

b)         Food Labeling in Package Form; Identify.

 

1)         The label of a food in package form shall bear as one of its principal features a statement of the identity of the commodity.

 

2)         Such statement of identity shall be in terms of:

 

A)        The name now or hereafter specified in or required by any applicable law or regulation; or, in the absence thereof,

 

B)        The common or usual name of the food; or, in the absence thereof,

 

C)        An appropriately descriptive term or, when the nature of the food is obvious, a fanciful name commonly used by the public for such food.

 

3)         Where a food is marketed in various optional forms (whole, sliced, diced, etc.), the particular form shall be considered to be a necessary part of the statement of identity and shall be declared in letters of a type size bearing a reasonable relation to the size of the letters forming the other components of the statement of identity; except that if the optional form is visible through the container or is depicted by an appropriate vignette, the particular form need not be included in the statement.  This specification does not affect the required declarations of identity under definitions and standards for Foods promulgated pursuant to Section 9 of the Act.

 

4)         This statement of identity shall be presented in bold type on the label, shall be in a size reasonably related to the most prominent printed matter on such label, and shall be in lines generally parallel to the base on which the package rests as it is designated to be displayed.

 

c)         Food:  Labeling; Prominence of Required Statements.

A word, statement or other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label may lack that prominence and conspicuousness required by Section 11(f) of the Act by reason (among other reasons) of:

 

1)         The failure of such word, statement or information to appear on the part or panel of the label which is presented or displayed under customary conditions of purchase;

 

2)         The failure of such word, statement or information to appear on two or more parts or panels of the label, each of which has sufficient space therefore, and each of which is so designed as to render it likely to be, under customary conditions of purchase, the part or panel displayed;

 

3)         The failure of the label to extend over the area of the container or package available for such extension, so as to provide sufficient label space for the prominent placing of such word, statement or information;

 

4)         Insufficiency of label space (for the prominent placing of such word, statement or information) resulting from the use of label space for any word, statement, design or device which is not required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label;

 

5)         Insufficiency of label space (for the prominent placing of such word, statement or information) resulting from the use of label space to give materially greater conspicuousness to any other word, statement or information, or to any design or device; or

 

6)         Smallness or style of type in which such word, statement or information appears, insufficient background contrast, obscuring designs or vignettes, or crowding with other written, printed or graphic matter.

 

d)         No exemption depending on insufficiency of label space, as prescribed in regulation promulgated under Section 11(i) of the Act, shall apply if such insufficiency is caused by:

 

1)         The use of label space for any word, statement, design or device which is not required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label;

 

2)         The use of label space to give greater conspicuousness to any word, statement or other information than is required by Section 11(f) of the Act; or

 

3)         The use of label space for any representation in a foreign language.

 

e)        

1)         All words, statements and other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label or labeling shall appear thereon in the English language;

 

2)         If the label contains any representation in a foreign language, all words, statements and other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label shall appear thereon in the foreign language;

 

3)         If the labeling contains any representation in a foreign language, all words, statements and other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label or labeling shall appear on the labeling in the foreign language.

 

f)         Food:  Labeling; Designation of Ingredients.

The name of an ingredient (except a spice, flavoring or coloring which is an ingredient of a food other than one sold as a spice, flavoring or coloring), required by Section 11(i)(2) of the Act to be borne on the label of a food, shall be a specific name and not a collective name.  But if an ingredient (which itself contains two or more ingredients) conforms to a definition and standard of indentity prescribed by regulations under Section 9 of the Act, such ingredient may be designated on the label of such food by the name specified in the definition and standard, supplemented, in case such regulations require the naming of optional ingredients present in such ingredient, by a statement showing the optional ingredients which are present in such ingredient.

 

g)         No ingredient shall be designated on the label as a spice, flavoring or coloring unless it is a spice, flavoring or coloring, as the case may be, within the meaning of such term as commonly understood by consumers. The term "coloring" shall not include any bleaching substance.

 

h)         An ingredient which is both a spice and a coloring, or both a flavoring and a coloring, shall be designated as spice and coloring, or flavoring and coloring, as the case may be, unless such ingredient is designated by its specific name.

 

i)          In the case of fabricated foods, including mixtures of food ingredients, where the proportion of an expensive ingredient or ingredients present has a material bearing on price or consumer acceptance, the label of such food shall bear a quantitative statement of such ingredient(s) if the label without such declaration may create an erroneous impression that such ingredient or ingredients are present in an amount greater than is actually the case.  For example, a label designation of identity as "cotton seed oil and olive oil" for a mixture containing 80 percent or more of cotton seed oil would require a declaration of the percent of olive oil present.  Similarly, a representation by vignette or statement of identity that a breakfast syrup is made from a mixture of sugar syrup and maple sugar syrup would necessitate a quantitative declaration of the maple sugar syrup unless more than 20 percent maple sugar syrup is present.

 

j)          In the case of an assortment of different items of food, when variations in the items which make up different packages packed from such assortment normally occur in good packing practice, and when such variations result in variations in the ingredients in different packages, such food shall be exempt from compliance with the requirements of clause (2) of Section 11(i) of the Act with respect to any ingredient which is not common to all packages.  But such exemption shall be on the condition that the label shall bear, in conjunction with the name of such ingredients as are common to all packages, a statement in terms which are as informative as practicable and which are not misleading, indicating that other ingredients may be present.

 

k)         A food shall be exempt while held for sale from the requirements of clause (2) of Section 11(i) of the Act (requiring a declaration on the label of the common or usual name of each ingredient when the food is fabricated from two or more ingredients) if said food, having been received in bulk containers at a retain establishment, is displayed to the purchaser with either

 

1)         the labeling of the bulk container plainly in view, or

 

2)         a counter card, sign or other appropriate device bearing prominently and conspicuously the information required to be stated on the label pursuant to clause (2) of Section 11(i) of the Act.

 

l)          Propylene glycol or glycerin present in quiescently frozen confections because of use as a carrier for food-grade emulsifiers and stabilizers is exempt from the requirements of Section 11(i)(2) of the Act (requiring a declaration on the label of the common or usual name of each ingredient when the food is fabricated from two or more ingredients).

 

m)        Ingredients shall be listed by common or usual name in order of decreasing predominance.  The declaration shall be presented on any appropriate information panel in adequate type size, without obscuring design, vignettes or crowding.  The entire ingredient statement shall appear on a single panel of the label.

 

n)         Food:  Labeling; Artificial Flavoring or Coloring, Chemical Preservatives.

 

1)         The term "artificial flavoring" means a flavoring containing any sapid or aromatic constituent, which constituent was manufactured by a process of synthesis or other similar artifice.

 

2)         The term "artificial coloring" means a coloring containing any dye or pigment, which dye or pigment was manufactured by a process of synthesis or other similar artifice, or a coloring which was manufactured by extracting a natural dye or natural pigment from a plant or other material in which such dye or pigment was naturally produced.

 

3)         The term "chemical preservative" means any chemical that, when added to food, tends to prevent or retard deterioration thereof, but does not include common salt, sugars, vinegars, spices or oils extracted from spices, substances added to food by direct exposure thereof to wood smoke, or chemicals applied for their insecticidal or herbicidal properties.

 

o)         A food which is subject to the requirements of Section 11(k) of the Act shall bear labeling, even though such food is not in package form.

 

p)         A statement of artificial flavoring, artificial coloring, or chemical preservative shall be placed on the food, or on its container or wrapper, or on any two or all of these, as may be necessary to render such statement likely to be read by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use of such food.

 

q)         A food shall be exempt from compliance with the requirements of Section 11(k) of the Act if it is not in package form and the units thereof are so small that a statement of artificial flavoring, artificial coloring, or chemical preservative, as the case may be, cannot be placed on such units with such conspicuousness as to render it likely to be read by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use.

 

r)          A food shall be exempt while held for sale from the requirements of Section 11(k) of the Act (requiring label statement of any artificial flavoring, artificial coloring, or chemical preservative) if said food, having been received in bulk containers at a retail establishment, is displayed to the purchaser with either

 

1)         the labeling of the bulk container plainly in view, or

 

2)         a counter card, sign or other appropriate device bearing prominently and conspicuously the information required to be stated on the label pursuant to Section 11(k) of the Act.

 

s)         A fruit or vegetable shall be exempt from compliance with the requirements of Section 11(k) of the Act with respect to a chemical preservative applied to the fruit or vegetable as a pesticide chemical prior to harvest.

 

Section 720.50  Drugs and Devices

 

a)         Drugs:  Name.

The name by which a drug is designated shall be clearly distinguishing and differentiating from any name recognized in an official compendium unless such drug complies in identity with the identity prescribed in an official compendium under such recognized name.

 

b)         The term "drug defined in an official compendium" means a drug having the identity prescribed for a drug in an official compendium.

 

c)         A statement that a drug defined in an official compendium differs in strength, quality or purity from the standard of strength, quality or purity set forth for such drug in an official compendium shall show all the respects in which such drug so differs, and the extent of each such difference.

 

d)         Drugs and Devices:  Labeling, Misbranding.

Among representations in the labeling of a drug or device which render such drug or device misbranded is a false or misleading representation with respect to another drug or device or a food or cosmetic.

 

e)         The labeling of a drug which contains two or more ingredients may be misleading by reason (among other reasons) of the designation of such drug in such labeling by a name which includes or suggests the name of one or more but not all such ingredients, even though the names of all such ingredients are stated elsewhere in the labeling.

 

f)         Drugs and Devices:  Place of Business.

 

If a drug or device is not manufactured by the person whose name appear on the label, the name shall be qualified by a phrase which reveals the connection such person has with such drug or device, such as "Manufactured for and Packed by ____________," "Distributed by ____________," or other similar phrase which expresses the facts.

 

g)         The statement of the place of business shall include the street address, if any, of such place, unless such street address is shown in a current city directory or telephone directory.

 

h)         Where a person manufactures, packs or distributes a drug or device at a place other than his principal place of business, the label may state the principal place of business in lieu of the actual place where each package of such drug or device was manufactured or packed or is to be distributed, if such statement is not misleading in any particular.

 

i)          The requirement that the label shall contain the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer or distributor shall not be considered to relieve any drug or device from the requirement that its label shall not be misleading in any particular.

 

j)         

 

1)         The statement of the quantity of the contents of a package of a drug shall reveal the quantity of such drug in the package, exclusive of wrappers and other material packed with such drug.

 

2)         The statement shall be expressed in the terms of weight, measure, numerical count, or a combination of numerical count and weight or measure, which are generally used by consumers and users of such drug to express quantity thereof and which give accurate information as to such quantity. But if no general usage in expressing accurate information as to the quantity of such drug exists among consumers and users thereof, the statement of the quantity of a drug which is not in tablet, capsule, ampule or other unit form shall be in terms of weight if the drug is solid, semisolid or viscous, or in terms which if in such unit form shall be in terms of the numerical count of such units, supplemented, when necessary to give accurate information as to the quantity of such drug in the package, by such statement (in such terms, manner and form as are not misleading) of the weight or measure of such units, or of the quantity of each active ingredient in each such unit as will give such information.

 

k)         The statement of the quantity of a device shall be expressed in terms of numerical count.

 

l)          A statement of weight shall be in terms of the avoirdupois pound, ounce and grain, or of the kilogram, gram and milligram.  A statement of liquid measure shall be in terms of the United States gallon of 231 cubic inches and quart, pint, fluid ounce and fluid dram subdivisions thereof, or of the liter, milliliter or cubic centimeter, and shall express the volume at 68º Fahrenheit (20º Centigrade).

 

m)        Statements of the quantity of a drug shall contain only such fractions as are generally used in expressing the quantity of such drug.  A common fraction shall be reduced to its lowest terms; a decimal fraction shall not be carried out to more than three places, except in the case of a statement of the quantity of an active ingredient in a unit of a drug.

 

n)        

 

1)         Unless made in accordance with the provisions of subsection (n)(2) of this Section, a statement of the quantity of a drug, in the terms of weight or measure applicable to such drug under the provisions of subsection (j)(2) of this Section, shall express the number of the largest unit specified in subsection (l) of this Section which is contained in the package (for example, the statement on the label of a package which contains one pint of a drug shall be "1 pint" and not "16 fluid ounces"). Where such number is a whole number and a fraction, there may be substituted for the fraction its equivalent in smaller units, if any smaller is specified in subsection (l) of this Section (for example, 1¼ pounds may be expressed as "1 pound 4 ounces").  The stated number of any unit which is smaller than the largest unit (specified in subsection (l) of this Section) contained in the package shall not equal or exceed the number of such smaller units in the next larger unit so specified (for example, instead of "1 quart 16 fluid ounces" the statement shall be "1½ quarts" or "1 quart 1 pint").

 

2)         In the case of a drug with respect to which there exists an established custom of stating the quantity of the contents as a fraction of a unit, which unit is larger than the quantity contained in the package, or as units smaller than the largest unit contained therein, the statement may be made in accordance with such custom if it is informative to consumers.

 

o)         The statement of the quantity of a drug or device shall express the minimum quantity, or the average quantity, of the contents of the packages.  If the statement is not so qualified as to show definitely that the quantity expressed is the minimum quantity, the statement, except in the case of ampules, shall be considered to express the average quantity.  The statement of the quantity of a drug in ampules shall be considered to express the minimum quantity.

 

p)         Where the statement expresses the minimum quantity, no variation below the stated minimum shall be permitted except variations below the stated weight or measure of a drug caused by ordinary and customary exposure, after such drug is introduced into commerce, to conditions which normally occur in good distribution practice and which unavoidably result in decreased weight or measure.  Variations above the stated minimum shall not be unreasonably large.  In the case of a liquid drug in ampules the variation above the stated measure shall comply with the excess volume prescribed by the National Formulary for filling of ampules.

 

q)         Where the statement does not express the minimum quantity:

 

1)         Variations from the stated weight or measure of a drug shall be permitted when caused by ordinary and customary exposure after such drug is introduced into commerce, to conditions which normally occur in good distribution practice and which unavoidably result in change of weight or measure;

 

2)         Variations from the stated weight, measure or numerical count of a drug or device shall be permitted when caused by unavoidable deviations in weighing, measuring or counting the contents of individual packages which occur in good packing practice.  But, under this paragraph, variations shall not be permitted to such extent that the average of the quantities in the packages comprising a shipment or other delivery of the drug or device is below the quantity stated and no unreasonable shortage in any package shall be permitted, even though coverages in other packages in the same shipment or delivery compensate for such shortage.

 

r)          The extent of variations from the stated quantity of the contents permissible under subsections (p) and (q) of this Section in the case of each shipment or other delivery shall be determined by the facts in such case.

 

s)         A drug or device shall be exempt from compliance with the requirements of Section 15(b)(2) of the Act if:

 

1)         The statement of the quantity of the contents, as expressed in terms applicable to such drug or device under the provisions of subsection (j)(2) of this Section, together with all other words, statements and information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label of such drug or device, cannot, because of insufficient label space, be so placed on the label as to comply with requirements of Section 15(c) of the Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, or

 

2)         The quantity of the contents of the package, as expressed in terms of numerical count in compliance with subsections (l)(2) or (m) of this Section is less than six units, and such units can be easily counted without opening the package, or

 

3)         It is an ointment, is labeled "Sample" or "Physician's Sample," or with a substantially similar statement, and the contents of the package do not weigh more than 8 grams.

 

t)          Drugs and Devices:  Forms of Making Required Statements.

A word, statement or other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label may lack that prominence and conspicuousness required by Section 15(c) of the Act by reason (among other reasons) of:

 

1)         The failure of such word, statement or information to appear on the part or panel of the label which is presented or displayed under customary conditions of the purchase;

 

2)         The failure of such word, statement or information to appear on two or more parts or panels of the label, each of which has sufficient space therefor, and each of which is so designed as to render it likely to be, under customary conditions of purchase, the part or panel displayed;

 

3)         The failure of the label to extend over the area of the container or package available for such extension, so as to provide sufficient label space for the prominent placing of such word, statement or information;

 

4)         Insufficiency of label space (for the prominent placing of such word, statement or information) resulting from the use of label space for any word, statement, design or device which is not required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label;

 

5)         Insufficiency of label space (for the prominent placing of such word, statement or information) resulting from the use of label space to give materially greater conspicuousness to any other word, statement or information, or to any design or device; or

 

6)         Smallness or style of type in which such word, statement or information appears, insufficient background contrast, obscuring designs or vignettes, or crowding with other written, printed or graphic matter.

 

u)         No exemption depending on insufficiency of label space, as prescribed in regulations promulgated under Section 15(b) or (e) of the Act, shall apply if such insufficiency is caused by:

 

1)         The use of label space for any word, statement, design or device which is not required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label;

 

2)         The use of label space to give greater conspicuousness to any word, statement or other information than is required by Section 15(c) of the Act; or

 

3)         The use of label space for any representation in a foreign language.

 

v)        

 

1)         All words, statements and other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label or labeling shall appear thereon in the English language;

 

2)         If the label contains any representation in a foreign language, all words, statement and other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label shall appear thereon in the foreign language;

 

3)         If the labeling contains any representation in a foreign language, all words, statements and other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label or labeling shall appear on the labeling in the foreign language.

 

w)        Drugs:  Statement of Ingredients.

The ingredient information required by Section 15(e) of the Act shall appear together, without any intervening written, printed or graphic matter, except the proprietary names of ingredients, which may be included with the listing of established names, and such statements as "Warning – May be Habit Forming" that are specifically required for certain ingredients by the Act or regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

x)         The term "ingredient" applies to any substance in the drug, whether added to the formulation as a single substance or in admixture with other substances.

 

y)         The labeling of a drug may be misleading by reason (among other reasons) of:

 

1)         The order in which the names of the ingredients present in the drug appear in the labeling, or the relative prominence otherwise given such names;

 

2)         Failure to reveal the proportion of, or other fact with respect to, an ingredient present in such drug, when such proportion or other fact is material in the light of the representation that such ingredient is present in such drug;

 

3)         The employment of a fanciful proprietary name for a drug or ingredient in such a manner as to imply that the drug or ingredient has some unique effectiveness or composition when, in fact, the drug or ingredient is a common substance, the limitations of which are readily recognized when the drug or ingredient is listed by its established name;

 

4)         The featuring in the labeling of inert or inactive ingredients in a manner that creates an impression of value greater than their true functional role in the formulation;

 

5)         Designation of a drug or ingredient by a proprietary name that, because of similarity in spelling or pronunciation, may be confused with the proprietary name or the established name of a different drug or ingredient.

 

z)        

 

1)         If the drug is in tablet or capsule form or other unit dosage form, any statement of the quantity of an ingredient contained therein shall express the quantity of such ingredient in each such unit.  If the drug is not in unit dosage form, any statement of the quantity of an ingredient contained therein shall express the amount of such ingredient in a specified unit of weight or measure of the drug, or the percentage of such ingredient in such drug.  Such statements shall be in terms that are informative to licensed practitioners, in the case of a prescription drug, and to the layman, in the case of a nonprescription drug.

 

2)         A statement of the percentage of an ingredient in a drug shall, if the term "percent" is used without qualification, mean percent weight-in-weight, if the ingredient and the drug are both solids, or if the ingredient is a liquid and the drug is a solid; percent weight-in-volume at 68º F. (20º C.), if the ingredient is a solid and the drug is a liquid; and percent volume-in-volume at 68º F. (20º C.), if both the ingredient and the drug are liquids, except that alcohol shall be stated in terms of percent volume of absolute alcohol at 60º F. (15.56º C.).

 

aa)       A derivative or preparation of a substance named in Section 15(c) of the Act is an article derived or prepared from such substance by any method, including actual or theoretical chemical action.

 

bb)       If an ingredient is a derivative or preparation of a substance specifically named in Section 15(e) of the Act and the established name of such ingredient does not indicate that it is a derivative or preparation of the parent substance named in Section 15(e) of the Act, the labeling shall, in conjunction with the listing of the established name of such ingredient, declare that such article is a derivative or preparation of such parent substance.

 

cc)      

 

1)         If the label or labeling of a prescription drug bears a proprietary name or designation for the drug or any ingredient thereof, the established name, if such there be, corresponding to such proprietary name or designation, shall accompany each appearance of such proprietary name or designation.  The established name shall be placed in direct conjunction with the proprietary name or designation, and the relationship between the proprietary name or designation and the established name shall be made clear by use of a phrase such as "brand of," preceding the established name, or by brackets surrounding the established name.

 

2)         The established name shall be printed in letters that are at least half as large as the letters comprising the proprietary name or designation with which it is jointed, and the established name shall have a prominence commensurate with the prominence with which such proprietary name or designation appears, taking into account all pertinent factors, including typography, layout, contrast and other printing features.

 

dd)     

 

1)         In the case of a prescription drug containing two or more active ingredients, if the label bears a proprietary name or designation for such mixture and there is no established name corresponding to such proprietary name or designation, the quantitative ingredient information required on the label by Section 15(e) of the Act shall be placed in direct conjunction with the most prominent display of the proprietary name or designation.  The prominence of the quantitative ingredient information shall bear a reasonable relationship to the prominence of the proprietary name.

 

2)         If the drug is packaged in a container too small to bear the quantitative ingredient information on the main display panel, the quantitative ingredient information required by Section 15(e) of the Act may appear elsewhere on the label, even thought the proprietary name or designation appears on the main display panel of the label; but side-or-back-panel placement shall in this case be so arranged and printed as to provide size and prominence of display reasonably related to the size and prominence of the front-panel display.

 

ee)       A drug packaged in a container too small or otherwise unable to accommodate a label with sufficient space to bear the information required for compliance with Section 15(e)(1)(ii) of the Act shall be exempt from compliance with those clauses; Provided that:

 

1)         The label bears:

 

A)        The proprietary name of the drug;

 

B)        The established name, if such there be, of the drug;

 

C)        An identifying lot or control number; and

 

D)        The name of the manufacturer, packer or distributor of the drug; AND

 

2)         All the information required to appear on the label by the Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder appears on the carton or other outer container or wrapper if such carton, outer container or wrapper has sufficient space to bear such information, or such complete label information appears on a leaflet with the package.

 

ff)        Prescription:  Drug Advertisements.

All advertisements for prescription drugs shall be subject to all regulations issued under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the Federal Act), as amended (21 U.S.C. 352), including all regulations relating to but not limited to Section 502(n) of such Federal Act.

 

gg)       An advertisement issued or caused to be issued by the manufacturer, packer or distributor of the drug promoted by the advertisement and which is not in compliance with Section 502(n) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the Federal Act), as amended (21 U.S.C. 352), and the applicable regulations thereunder shall cause stocks of such drug in possession of the person responsible for issuing or causing the issuance of the advertisement, and stocks of the drug distributed by such person and still in the channels of commerce, to be misbranded under Section 15(n) of the Act.

uu)       Expiration of Exemptions.

 

1)         If a shipment or delivery, or any part, of a drug or device which is exempt under the regulations in this Section is made to a person in whose possession the article is not exempt, or is made for any purpose other than those specified, such exemption shall expire, with respect to such shipment or delivery or part, at the beginning of that shipment or delivery.  The causing of an exemption to expire shall be considered an act which results in such drug or device being misbranded unless it is disposed of under circumstances in which it ceases to be a drug or device.

 

2)         The exemptions conferred by subsections (pp), (qq), (rr), (ss) and (tt) of this Section shall continue until the drugs or devices are used for the purposes for which they are exempted, or until they are relabeled to comply with Section 15(f)(1) of the Act.  If, however, the drug is converted, compounded or manufactured into a dosage form limited to prescription dispensing, no exemption shall thereafter apply to the article unless the dosage form is labeled as required by Section 16 of the Act and subsections (jj), (kk) or (ll) of this Section.

 

vv)       Intended Uses.

The words "intended uses" or words of similar import in subsections (ii), (nn), (pp), (qq), (rr) and (ss) of this Section refer to the objective intent of the persons legally responsible for the labeling of drugs and devices.  The intent is determined by such persons' expressions or may be shown by the circumstances surrounding the distribution of the article.  This objective intent may, for example, be shown by labeling claims, advertising matter, or oral or written statements by such persons or their representatives.  It may be shown by the circumstances that the article is, with the knowledge of such persons or their representatives, offered and used for a purpose for which it is neither labeled nor advertised.  The intended uses of an article may change after it has been introduced into commerce by its manufacturer.  If, for example, a packer, distributor or seller intends an article for different uses than those intended by the person from whom he received the drug, such packer, distributor or seller is required to supply adequate labeling in accordance with the new intended uses.  But if a manufacturer knows, or has knowledge of facts that would give him notice, that a drug or device introduced into commerce by him is to be used for conditions, purposes or uses other than the ones for which he offers it, he is required to provide adequate labeling for such a drug which accords with such other uses to which the article is to be put.

 

ww)     Drugs and Devices:  Exemptions.

 

1)         Except as provided by subsections (ww)(2) and (3) below, a shipment or other delivery of a drug or device which is, in accordance with the practice of the trade, to be processed, labeled or repacked in substantial quantity at an establishment other than that where originally processed or packed, shall be exempt, during the time of introduction into and movement in commerce and the time of holding in such establishment, from compliance with the labeling and packaging requirements of Sections 14(b) and 15(b), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of the Act if:

6)         Except as provided by subsections (ww)(7) and (8) below, a shipment or other delivery of a drug which is subject to Section 507 of the Federal Act and which is, in accordance with the practice of the trade, to be labeled in substantial quantity at an establishment other than that where originally processed or packed shall be exempt from compliance with the labeling requirements of Section 15(b), (e) and (f) of the Act during the time such drug is also exempt from the requirements of Section 15(1) of the Act if the words, statements and other information required by Section 15(b) and (e) of the Act appear on each shipping container of such drug.

Among representations in labeling of a cosmetic which render such cosmetic misbranded is a false or misleading representation with respect to another cosmetic or a food, drug or device.

 

b)         The labeling of a cosmetic which contains two or more ingredients may be misleading by reason (among other reasons) of the designation of such cosmetic in such labeling by a name which includes or suggests the name of one or more but not all such ingredients, even though the names of all such ingredients are stated elsewhere in the labeling.

 

c)         Cosmetic:  Labeling; Required Statements; Exemption.

If a cosmetic is not manufactured by the person whose name appears on the label, the name shall be qualified by a phrase which reveals the connection such person has with such cosmetic such as "Manufactured for and Packed by ________," "Distributed by __________" or other similar phrase which expresses the facts.

 

d)         The statement of the place of business shall include the street address if any, of such place, unless such street address is shown in a current city directory or telephone directory.

 

e)         Where a person manufactures, packs or distributes a cosmetic at a place other than his principal place of business, the label may state the principal place of business in lieu of the actual place where each package of such cosmetic was manufactured or packed or is to be distributed, if such statement is not misleading in any particular.

 

f)         The requirement that the label shall contain the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer or distributor shall not be considered to relieve any cosmetic from the requirement that its label shall not be misleading in any particular.

 

g)        

 

1)         The statement of the quantity of the contents shall reveal the quantity of cosmetic in the package, exclusive of wrappers and other material packed with such cosmetic.

 

2)         The statement shall be expressed in the terms of weight, measure, numerical count, or a combination of numerical count and weight or measure, which are generally used by consumers to express quantity of such cosmetic and which give accurate information as to the quantity thereof.  But if no general consumer usage in expressing accurate information as to the quantity of such cosmetic exists, the statement shall be in terms of liquid measure if the cosmetic is liquid, or in terms of weight if the cosmetic is solid, semisolid or viscous, or in such terms of numerical count, or numerical count and weight or measure, as will give accurate information as to the quantity of the cosmetic in the package.

 

h)        

 

1)         A statement of weight shall be in terms of the avoirdupois pound and ounce.  A statement if liquid measure shall be in terms of the United States gallon of 231 cubic inches and quart, pint and fluid ounce subdivisions thereof, and shall express the volume at 68º Fahrenheit (20º Centigrade).  However, in the case of an export shipment, the statement may be in terms of a system of weight or measure in common use in the country to which such shipment is exported.

 

2)         A statement of weight or measure in the terms specified in subsection (h)(1) above may be supplemented by a statement in terms of the metric system of weight or measure.

 

3)         Unless an unqualified statement of numerical count gives accurate information as to the quantity of cosmetic in the package, it shall be supplemented by such statement of weight, measure or size of the individual units of the cosmetic as will give such information.

 

i)          Statement shall contain only such fractions as are generally used in expressing the quantity of the cosmetic.  A common fraction shall be reduced to its lowest terms; a decimal fraction shall not be carried out to more than two places.

 

j)         

 

1)         If the quantity of cosmetic in the package equals or exceeds the smallest unit of weight or measure which is specified in subsection (h) above, and which is applicable to such cosmetic under the provisions of subsection (g)(2) above, the statement shall express the number of the largest of such units contained in the package (for example, the statement on the label of a package which contains one pint of cosmetic shall be "1 pint," not "16 fluid ounces"), unless the statement is made in accordance with the provisions of subsection (j)(2) below.  Where such number is a whole number and a fraction, there may be substituted for the fraction its equivalent in smaller units, if any smaller is specified in subsection (h) above (for example, 1¾ quarts may be expressed as "1 quart 1½ pints" or "1 quart 1 pint 8 fluid ounces," 1¼ pounds may be expressed as "1 pound 4 ounces").  The stated number of any unit which is smaller than the largest unit (specified in subsection (h) above) contained in the package shall not equal or exceed the number of such smaller units in the next larger unit so specified (for example, instead of "1 quart 16 fluid ounces" the statement shall be "1½ quarts" or "1 quart 1 pint":  instead of "24 ounces" the statement shall be "1½ pounds" or "1 pound 8 ounces").

 

2)         In the case of a cosmetic with respect to which there exists an established custom of stating the quantity of the contents as a fraction of a unit, which unit is larger than the quantity of the contents as a fraction of a unit, which unit is larger than the quantity contained in the package, or as units smaller than the largest unit contained therein, the statement may be made in accordance with such custom if it is informative to consumers.

 

k)         The statement shall express the minimum quantity, or the average quantity, of the contents of the package.  If the statement is not so qualified as to show definitely that the quantity expressed is the minimum quantity, the statement shall be considered to express the average quantity.

 

l)          Where the statement expresses the minimum quantity, no variation below the stated minimum shall be permitted except variations below the stated weight or measure caused by ordinary and customary exposure, after the cosmetic is introduced into commerce, to conditions which normally occur in good distribution practice and which unavoidably result in decreased weight or measure.  Variations above the stated minimum shall not be unreasonably large.

 

m)        Where the statement does not express the minimum quantity:

 

1)         Variations from the stated weight or measure shall be permitted when caused by ordinary and customary exposure, after the cosmetic is introduced into commerce, to conditions which normally occur in good distribution practice and which unavoidably result in change of weight or measure.

 

2)         Variations from the stated weight, measure or numerical count shall be permitted when caused by unavoidable deviations in weighing, measuring or counting individual packages which occur in good packing practice.  But under this subsection (m)(2) variations shall not be permitted to such extent that the average of the quantities in the packages comprising a shipment or other delivery of the cosmetic is below the quantity stated, and no unreasonable shortage in any package shall be permitted, even though overages in other packages in the same shipment or delivery compensate for such shortage.

 

n)         The extent of variations from the stated quantity of the contents permissible under subsections (l) and (m) above in the case of each shipment or other delivery shall be determined by the facts in such case.

 

o)         A cosmetic shall be exempt from compliance with the requirements of clause (2) of Section 19(b) of the Act if the quantity of the contents of the package, as expressed in terms applicable to such cosmetic under the provisions of subsection (g)(2) above, is less than one-fourth ounce avoirdupois, or less than one-eighth fluid ounce, or (in case the units of the cosmetic can be easily counted without opening the package) less than six units.

 

p)         Cosmetic:  Labeling Requirements; Form of Stating.

A word, statement or other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label may lack that prominence and conspicuousness required by Section 19(c) of the Act by reason (among other reasons) of:

 

1)         The failure of such word, statement or information to appear on the part or panel of the label which is presented or displayed under customary conditions of purchase;

 

2)         The failure of such word, statement or information to appear on two or more parts or panels of the label, each of which has sufficient space therefor, and each of which is so designed as to render it likely to be, under customary conditions of purchase, the part of panel displayed;

 

3)         The failure of the label to extend over the area of the container or package available for such extension, so as to provide sufficient label space for the prominent placing of such word, statement or information;

 

4)         Insufficiency of label space (for the prominent placing of such word, statement or information) resulting from the use of label space for any word, statement, design or device which is not required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label;

 

5)         Insufficiency of label space (for the prominent placing of such word, statement or information) resulting from the use of label space to give materially greater conspicuousness to any other word, statement or information, or to any design or device;

 

6)         Smallness or style of type in which such word, statement or information appears, insufficient background contrast, obscuring designs or vignettes, or crowding with other written, printed or graphic matter.

 

q)        

 

1)         All words, statements and other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label or labeling shall appear thereon in the English language.

 

2)         If the label contains any representation in a foreign language, all words, statement and other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label shall appear thereon in the foreign language.

 

3)         If the labeling contains any representation in a foreign language, all words, statements and other information required by or under authority of the Act to appear on the label or labeling shall appear on the labeling in the foreign language.

 

r)          Cosmetic:  Labeling Requirements; Exemptions.

Except as provided by subsections (s) and (t) below, a shipment or other delivery of a cosmetic which is, in accordance with the practice of the trade, to be processed, labeled or repacked in substantial quantity at an establishment other than that where originally processed or packed, shall be exempt, during the time of introduction into and movement in commerce and the time of holding in such establishment, from compliance with the labeling requirements of Sections 18(a) and 19(b) of the Act if:

 

1)         The person who introduced such shipment or delivery into commerce is the operator of the establishment where such cosmetic is to be processed, labeled or repacked; or

 

2)         In case such person is not such operator, such shipment or delivery is made to such establishment under a written agreement, signed by and containing the post office addresses of such person and such operator, and containing such specifications for the processing, labeling or repacking, as the case may be, of such cosmetic in such establishment as will insure, if such specifications are followed, that such cosmetic will not be adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Act upon completion of such processing, labeling or repacking.  Such person and such operator shall each keep a copy of such agreement until two years after the final shipment or delivery of such cosmetic from such establishment, and shall make such copies available for inspection at any reasonable hour to any officer or employee of the Illinois Department of Public Health who requests them.

 

s)         An exemption of a shipment or other delivery of a cosmetic under subsection (r)(1) above shall, at the beginning of the act of removing such shipment or delivery, or any part, from such establishment, become void ab initio if the cosmetic comprising such shipment, delivery, or part, is adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the act when so removed.

 

t)          An exemption of a shipment or other delivery of a cosmetic under subsection (r)(2) above shall become void ab initio with respect to the person who introduced such shipment or delivery into interstate commerce upon refusal by such person to make available for inspection a copy of the agreement, as required by such clause.

 

u)         An exemption of a shipment or other delivery of a cosmetic under subsection (r)(2) above shall expire:

 

1)         At the beginning of the act of removing such shipment or delivery, or any part, from such establishment if the cosmetic comprising such shipment, delivery, or part, is adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the act when so removed; or

 

2)         Upon refusal by the operator of the establishment where such cosmetic is to be processed, labeled or repacked, to make available for inspection a copy of the agreement, as required by such clause.
