Section 618.226 - Commodity price and quantity advertising requirements; restriction on use of certain advertising terms(1) Whenever a commodity in package form is advertised in any manner and the retail price of the package is stated in the advertisement, there shall be closely and conspicuously associated with such statement of price a declaration of the quantity of contents of the package as is required to appear on the package.(2) If the applicable law requires a dual declaration of net quantity to appear on the package, only the declaration that sets forth the quantity in terms of the smaller unit of weight or measure need appear in the advertisement.(3) There shall not be included as part of the declaration required under this section such qualifying terms as "when packed," "minimum," "not less than" or any other terms of similar import, nor any term qualifying a unit of weight, measure or count such as "jumbo," "giant" or "full" that tends to exaggerate the amount of commodity in the package.
