Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) Commercial
				  feed, other than customer-formula feed, shall be labeled with the information
				  prescribed in this rule.
(1) Product name and
				  brand name, if any.
(A) The brand or product
				  name shall be appropriate for the intended use of the feed and shall not be
				  misleading. If the name indicates the feed is made for a specific use, the
				  character of the feed shall conform to that use. A commercial feed for a
				  particular animal class shall be suitable for that purpose.
(B) Commercial, registered brand, or trade
				  names are not permitted in guarantees or ingredient listings and only in the
				  product name of feeds produced by or for the firm holding the rights to the
				  name.
(C) The name of a commercial
				  feed shall not be derived from one or more ingredients of a mixture to the
				  exclusion of other ingredients and shall not be one representing any components
				  of a mixture unless all components are included in the name: provided, that if
				  any ingredient or combination of ingredients is intended to impart a
				  distinctive characteristic to the product which is of significance to the
				  purchaser, the name of that ingredient or combination of ingredients may be
				  used as part of the brand name or product name if the ingredients or
				  combination of ingredients is quantitatively guaranteed in the guaranteed
				  analysis, and the brand or product name is not false or misleading.
(D) The word "protein" shall not be permitted
				  in the product name of a feed that contains added non-protein
				  nitrogen.
(E) When the name carries
				  a percentage value, it shall be understood to signify protein and/or equivalent
				  protein content only, even though it may not explicitly modify the percentage
				  with the word "protein": provided, that other percentage values may be
				  permitted if they are followed by the proper description and conform to good
				  labeling practice. Digital numbers shall not be used in a manner as to be
				  misleading or confusing to the customer.
(F) Single ingredient feeds shall have a
				  product name in accordance with the designated definition of feed ingredients
				  as recognized by the Association of American Feed Control Officials except as
				  the Board designates.
(G) The word
				  "vitamin", a contraction of vitamin, or any word suggesting vitamin can be used
				  only in the name of a feed which is represented to be a vitamin supplement, and
				  which is labeled with the minimum content of each vitamin declared, as
				  specified in
				  35:30-27-4(c).
(H) The term "mineralized" shall not be used
				  in the name of the feed except for "TRACE MINERALIZED SALT". When so used, the
				  product shall contain significant amounts of trace minerals which are
				  recognized as essential for animal nutrition.
(I) The terms "meat" and "meat by-products"
				  shall be qualified to designate the animal species from which the meat and meat
				  by-products are derived. All products of this nature derived from ruminant
				  sources shall bear the "
WARNING STATEMENT: DO NOT FEED TO CATTLE OR OTHER
				  RUMINANTS"
per Section 409, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
				  Act.
