Labelling

(1) When any inspected and passed product is placed or packed in any container, there shall be affixed to such container a label, provided that plain wrappings for fresh meat such as dressed carcasses or primal parts thereof which are solely to protect the product against soiling or excessive drying during transportation need not be labelled. (2) Every label shall contain displayed the name of the product, a full list of ingredients, the inspection legend and where the product contains any artificial colouring, artificial flavouring, antioxidants or preservatives, a statement of such fact. (3) Immediate containers are those receptacles or other coverings in which the product is directly contained or wholly or partly enclosed and shall be labelled with labels approved by the Minister. (4) Shipping containers are the outside containers (box, bag, barrel, crate or other receptacle or covering) containing or wholly or partially enclosing any product packed in one or more immediate containers. These shall be labelled with approved stencils, labels, box dies and brands which shall be applicable to the product and are not false or deceptive and are used with the approval of the authorised officer.
