Pennsylvania Code › Title 7 - AGRICULTURE › Part I - Bureau of Animal Health and Diagnostic Services › Chapter 1 - MEAT HYGIENE › Subchapter H - MARKING AND LABELING › LABELING REQUIREMENTS › Section 1.249 - Net quantity statements-general

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) The statement of net quantity of contents
					 shall appear on the principal display panel of all containers to be sold at
					 retail intact and shall appear on all containers in conspicuous and easily
					 legible boldface print or type in distinct contrast to other matter on the
					 package.
(b) The statement as it is
					 shown on a label shall not be false or misleading and shall express an accurate
					 statement of the quantity of contents of the container exclusive of wrappers
					 and packing substances. Reasonable variations caused by loss or gain or
					 moisture during the course of good distribution practices or by unavoidable
					 deviations in good manufacturing practice shall be recognized. Variations from
					 stated quantity of contents shall not be unreasonably large.
(c) The statement shall be placed on the
					 principal display panel within the bottom 30% of the area of the panel in lines
					 generally parallel to the base except that on packages having a principal
					 display panel of five square inches or less, such requirement shall not apply
					 when the statement meets the other requirements of this Subchapter. In any
					 case, the statement may appear in more than one line. The terms "net weight" or
					 "net wt." shall be used when stating the net quantity of contents in terms of
					 weight, and the term "net contents" or "content" when stating the net quantity
					 of contents in terms of fluid measure.
(d) Except as provided in §
											1.269 (relating to labels in
					 foreign languages), the statement shall be expressed in terms of avoirdupois
					 weight or liquid measure. Where no general consumer usage to the contrary
					 exists, the statement shall be in terms of liquid measure if the product is
					 liquid, or in terms of weight if the product is solid, semisolid viscous or a
					 mixture of solid and liquid. For example, a declaration of 3/4 pound
					 avoirdupois weight shall be expressed as "Net Wt. 12 oz." unless it is on a
					 random weight package and a declaration of 1 1/2 pounds avoirdupois weight
					 shall be expressed as "Net Wt. 24 oz. (1 lb. 8 oz.)," "Net Wt. 24 oz. (1 1/2
					 lb.)," or "Net Wt. 24 oz. (1.5 lbs.)."
(e) A "random weight package" is one which is
					 one of a lot, shipment or delivery of packages of the same product with varying
					 weights and with no fixed weight pattern.
