§ 35-7-119 — Fair packaging and labeling provisions

(a) All labels of consumer commodities, as defined by this
act, shall conform with the requirements for the declaration of
net quantity of contents of section 4 of the Fair Packaging and
Labeling Act (15 U.S.C. § 1451, et seq.) and the regulations
promulgated pursuant thereto as of the effective date of this
act. Consumer commodities exempted from the requirements of
section 4 of the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act are also exempt
from this subsection.
(b) The label of any package of a consumer commodity which
bears a representation as to the number of servings of the
commodity contained in the package shall bear a statement of the
net quantity (in terms of weight, measure or numerical count) of
each serving.
(c) No person shall distribute or cause to be distributed
in commerce any packaged consumer commodity if any qualifying
words or phrases appear in conjunction with the separate
statement of the net quantity of contents required by subsection
(a) of this section, but nothing in this section prohibits
supplemental statements, at other places on the package,
describing in nondeceptive terms the net quantity of contents.
Supplemental statements of net quantity of contents shall not
include any term qualifying a unit of weight, measure or count
that tends to exaggerate the amount of the commodity contained
in the package.
(d) If the director determines that regulations containing
prohibitions or requirements other than those prescribed by
subsection (a) of this section are necessary to prevent the
deception of consumer or to facilitate value comparisons as to
any consumer commodity, the director shall promulgate rules and
regulations with respect to that commodity.
(e) The department shall promulgate rules with respect to
labeling. Every retailer and every wholesaler who sells or
offers for sale in this state through an establishment or
