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

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.
