All words, statements, graphic presentations, or designs required by the Food and Agricultural Code or these regulations to appear on the label or labeling must be clearly legible and easy to read by a person with normal vision.

The signal word, when required, shall not be less than 18 point type, and the said warning statement shall not be less than 12 point type, unless the label space on the container is too small to accommodate such type sizes, in which case, the director shall prescribe the type size. When the size of the label space requires a reduction in type size, the reduction shall be made to a size no smaller than is necessary, and in no event to a size smaller than 6 point type.
