In the event that a product under\nthis section shall contain an ingredient which has been derived from\nmilk or a milk by-product or during its formation has used milk or a\nmilk by-product, the ingredient labeling shall after specifying the name\nof the ingredient, place in parentheses the words "milk derived".\n Persons or corporations offering such products for sale shall upon\nrequest by the commissioner submit to him evidence in support of any\nnutritional claims made for such products through advertising, labeling\nor public announcement, and failure to submit such evidence or to revise\nsuch claims in the manner suggested by the commissioner shall be\npresumed to be a misbranding of said products within the meaning of\nsection two hundred one of this chapter.\n
