S.C. Code Regs. § § 5-203
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 11, November 22, 2024
(1) When net weight is clearly and legibly stated on bags, tags may show the phrase, "Net Weight Shown on Bag" (or equivalent), in lieu of the actual net weight. Actual net weight may be shown on tags, if preferred. Either the net weight statement or the above phrase (or equivalent) must be a part of the tag.(2) The name of a commercial feed shall not be derived from one or more ingredients of a mixture to the exclusion of the other ingredients, and shall not be one representing any component of a mixture unless all components are included in the name.(3) The brand or product name must not be misleading. If the name of a feed indicates the feed is made for a specific use, the character of the feed must conform therewith. A mixture labeled "Dairy Feed," for example, must be suitable for that purpose.(4) When the brand name and guarantees are shown on both the bag and the tag, the tag will take precedence.(5) For mineral feeds and for feeds containing five percent (5%) or more mineral ingredients, the statement of guaranteed analysis shall include the:(a) Minimum and maximum percentage of calcium (Ca).(b) Minimum percentage of phosphorus (P).(c) Minimum percentage of iodine (I).(d) Minimum and maximum percentage of salt (NaCl).(6) Mineral phosphatic materials for feeding purposes shall be labeled with a guarantee for the minimum percentage of calcium and phosphorus, and the maximum percentage of fluorine.(7) The firm name and address shown on tags and/or labeled packages is held solely responsible for: (a) Registration of the product.(b) The product meeting the declared nutritional and/or additive guarantees.(c) Every ingredient being in the feeding stuff as stated in the list of ingredients.(8) The firm name and address appearing on the label and/or labeled bag shall be one to which mail can be delivered.(9) Bulk shipments of concentrated commercial feedstuffs shall have one label, a copy of which shall be on file with the Department, attached to the invoice accompanying such shipment. If the invoice does not accompany shipment, one label shall be attached in a prominent place to the vehicle containing said shipment. The invoice shall also have a tag attached.(10) The information required by Section 46-27-310 of the feed law must appear in its entirety on one side of a label or on one side of the container; provided, however, that the statement regarding net weight as required by 5-203(1), may be used in lieu of the actual net weight; this information shall not be subordinated or obscured by other statements or designs.(11) If any feeding directions and/or warning statements shall appear on the reverse side of the label, reference to such directions must appear on the front of the label. For example, "See other side of label."
