2021 New York Laws AGM - Agriculture and Markets Article 16 - Weights and Measures 191 - Standardized Packaging.

§ 191. Standardized packaging. 1. For the purposes of this section:   a.  "Food  store" shall mean a store selling primarily food at retail, which store is not primarily engaged in the sale of food for consumption on the premises.   b. "Consumer commodities" shall mean:  (1) food, including all material, solid,  liquid,  or  mixed,  whether simple  or compound, used or intended for consumption by human beings or domestic animals normally kept as household pets and all  substances  or ingredients to be added thereto for any purpose;  (2)  napkins,  facial  tissues, toilet tissues, foil wrapping, plastic wrapping, paper toweling, disposable plates and cups;  (3) detergents, soaps and other cleansing agents; and  (4) non-prescription drugs, female hygiene products, and toiletries.   c. "Package" shall mean any container or wrapper in which  a  consumer commodity is enclosed and offered or exposed for sale in a food store.   d.  "Package  size"  shall mean the physical dimensions of a container which encloses a consumer commodity.   e. "Quantity" shall mean the net weight, volume, numerical count, area or linear measure, as appropriate, of the contents of a package.   f. "Person"  shall  mean  any  individual,  partnership,  corporation, association, or firm.   2.  Upon  the  petition  of  a  substantial  number  of  each group of manufacturers, packers, distributors,  and  retailers  of  any  consumer commodity packaged or wrapped in advance of being offered or exposed for sale  in  a  food store, the commissioner may hold a public hearing upon due notice  to  consider  rules  and  regulations  prescribing  standard quantities  or  package sizes by which any such commodity shall be sold, or offered or exposed for sale in a  food  store.  If  the  commissioner finds   that   the   proposed   standardization  will  reduce  an  undue proliferation of package sizes and facilitate the ability  of  consumers to  make  price  comparisons, he may adopt and promulgate such rules and regulations with respect to such commodity unless  a  voluntary  product standard has been established for such commodity pursuant to the federal fair  packaging and labelling act.  In addition to any such commodities, the commissioner may by rule and  regulation,  and  without  any  public hearing, prescribe the existing standard quantities or package sizes for milk,  cream,  melloream,  frozen desserts, flours and meals; thereafter the commissioner may prescribe standard quantities or package sizes  for such  commodities,  whether or not a voluntary product standard has been established, without petition but shall hold a public hearing  prior  to the promulgation thereof.   3.  No person shall sell, offer or expose for sale in a food store any consumer commodity for which the commissioner has  prescribed,  pursuant to  subdivision  two  herein,  a  standardized  quantity or package size except in a package or by a quantity which conforms to  that  prescribed by the commissioner.
