Perishable foods having quality assurance dates of more than 90 days need not bear open dates. If investigations by the commissioner on the commissioner's own initiative or because of complaints from consumers disclose that those products have lost their palatability or their desired or nutritive properties, the commissioner may require by rule adopted after a hearing held in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act that all such perishable foods bear an open date on the package or label of such perishable foods in accordance with parts 1550.1030 to 1550.1250.
