§ 201. Misbranding  of food. Food shall be deemed to be misbranded: 1.   If its labeling is false or misleading in any particular.2. If it is offered for sale under the name of another article.3. If it is an imitation of another food, unless its label  bears  the   word  "imitation"  and  immediately  thereafter  the  name  of  the food   imitated in type of uniform size and equal  prominence,  followed  by  a   statement showing the constituents thereof.4.  If  its  container  is so made, formed, colored or filled as to be   misleading.5. If in package form, unless it bears a label containing the name and   place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor.6. If any word, statement or other information required  by  or  under   authority  of  this  article  to  appear on the label or labeling is not   prominently placed thereon with such conspicuousness (as  compared  with   other  words,  statements,  designs, or devices, in the labeling) and in   such terms as to render it likely to  be  read  and  understood  by  the   ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use.7.  If  it  purports  to  be  or  is represented as a food for which a   definition and standard of identity has been prescribed, unless  (a)  it   conforms  to  such  definition and standard, and (b) its label bears the   name of the food specified in the definition and standard,  and,  in  so   far as may be required, the common names of optional ingredients present   in such food.8.  If  it  purports to be or is represented as (a) a food for which a   standard  of  quality  has  been  prescribed  by  this  chapter  or   by   regulations  as  provided  in  section  two  hundred fourteen-b, and its   quality falls below such standard,  unless  its  label  bears,  in  such   manner  and  form as such regulations specify, a statement that it falls   below such standard; or (b) a food for which no definition and  standard   of  identity  and/or  standard  of  quality have been prescribed, and it   falls below the  standard  of  purity,  quality  or  strength  which  it   purports or is represented to possess.9. If it is not subject to the provisions of subdivision seven of this   section,  unless  its  label  bears  (a) the common or usual name of the   food, if any there be, and (b) in case it is fabricated from two or more   ingredients, the common or usual name of each  such  ingredient;  except   that  spices,  flavorings, and colorings, other than those sold as such,   may be designated as spices, flavorings, and colorings,  without  naming   each; provided that, to the extent that compliance with the requirements   of  clause  (b)  of  this  subdivision  is  impracticable, or results in   deception or unfair competition, in the judgment  of  the  commissioner,   exemptions  shall  be  established  by  regulations  promulgated  by the   commissioner.10. If it purports to be or is represented for special  dietary  uses,   unless its label bears such information concerning its vitamin, mineral,   and  other  dietary  properties as the commissioner determines to be and   prescribes as necessary in order to inform purchasers fully  as  to  its   value for such uses.11.  If  it  bears  or  contains  any artificial flavoring, artificial   coloring, or permitted chemical preservative, unless it  bears  labeling   stating that fact: provided, that to the extent that compliance with the   requirements  of  this subdivision is impracticable, exemptions shall be   established  by  regulations  promulgated  by  the   commissioner.   The   provisions  of  this  subdivision  and  subdivisions seven and nine with   respect to artificial coloring shall not apply in the  case  of  butter,   cheese, or ice cream. The provisions of this subdivision with respect to   chemical preservatives shall not apply to a pesticide chemical when used   in or on a raw agricultural commodity which is the produce of the soil. 12.  If it is a raw agricultural commodity which is the produce of the   soil, bearing or containing a pesticide chemical applied after  harvest,   unless  the  shipping  container  of such commodity bears labeling which   declares the presence of such chemical in or on such commodity  and  the   common  or  usual  name  and  the  function  of such chemical; provided,   however,  that  no  such  declaration  shall  be  required  while   such   commodity,  having  been  removed  from the shipping container, is being   held or displayed for sale at retail out of such container in accordance   with the custom of the trade.13. If it is a color additive unless its packing and labeling  are  in   conformity  with  such  packing and labeling requirements, applicable to   such color additive, as may be contained in regulations  promulgated  by   the commissioner.14.  If  it  contains  a milk protein concentrate, caseinate, or added   casein and is not subject to the provisions of subdivision seven of this   section, unless its label  bears  the  name  of  such  substance  as  an   ingredient.
