Section 80-13-1-.07 - Information Required On Packages(1) Any package kept for the purpose of sale shall bear on the outside of the package a plain, definite and conspicuous declaration of the following: (a) The identity of the commodity in the package, unless the same can easily be identified through the wrapper or container.(b) The quantity of contents in terms of weight, measure, or count.(c) The name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor, in the case of any package kept offered, or exposed for sale, or sold, in any place other than on the premises where packed.(2) In addition to the above requirements, any package being one of a lot containing random weights of the same commodity and bearing the total selling price of the package shall bear on the outside of the package a plain and conspicuous declaration of quantity as is required to appear on the package. Where a dual declaration is required, only the declaration that sets forth the quantity in terms of the smaller unit of weight or measure need appear in the advertisement.(3) A declaration of identity on a consumer package shall appear on the principal display panel and shall positively identify the commodity in the package by its common or usual name, description, generic term or the like. This declaration shall appear generally parallel to the base on which the package rests as it is designed to be displayed.(4) Declarations of identity on nonconsumer packages shall positively identify the commodity in the package by its common or usual name description, generic name or the like.(5) All packages offered or exposed for sale at any place other than on the premises where packed shall also, on the label, specify the name and address of the manufacturer, packer or distributor. This address must be full and complete. (a) If a person manufactures, packs, or distributes a commodity at a place other than his principal place of business, the label may state the principal place of business in lieu of the actual place where the commodity was manufactured or packed or is to be distributed, unless such statement would be misleading. Where the commodity is not manufactured by the person whose name appears on the label, the name shall be qualified by a phrase that reveals the connection such person has with such commodity, such as "Manufactured for and packed by ________","Distributed by _____" or any other wording of similar import that expresses the facts.
