Section 80-1-22-.08 - Requirements For Imitations, Compounds And Substitutions

(1) An imitation food product shall bear on the label the word imitation in immediate conjunction equally as prominent and conspicuous as the name of the product.

(2) A compound or blend not offered for sale under its own distinctive name, as defined in Rule 80-1-22-.05(2) and for which no definition or standard has been fixed, shall be labeled with the words "compound" or blend as the case may be. When a statement of the list of the ingredients alone may not correct a false or misleading impression, or fails to disclose the true nature and character of the product, the percentage of each ingredient shall be stated on the label.

(3) When a substance of a recognized quality commonly used in the preparation of a food product is replaced in whole or in part by another substance not injurious or deleterious to health, the name of the substitute shall appear on the label.
