Ala. Admin. Code r. 80-13-1-.07 - Information Required On Packages
(1) Any package kept for the purpose of sale
shall bear on the outside of the package a plain, definite and conspicuous

identified through the wrapper or container.
(b) The quantity of contents in terms of
weight, measure, or count.
(c) The
name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor, in the
case of any package kept offered, or exposed for sale, or sold, in any place
other than on the premises where packed.
(2) In addition to the above requirements,
any package being one of a lot containing random weights of the same commodity
and bearing the total selling price of the package shall bear on the outside of
the package a plain and conspicuous declaration of quantity as is required to
appear on the package. Where a dual declaration is required, only the
declaration that sets forth the quantity in terms of the smaller unit of weight
or measure need appear in the advertisement.
(3) A declaration of identity on a consumer
package shall appear on the principal display panel and shall positively
identify the commodity in the package by its common or usual name, description,
generic term or the like. This declaration shall appear generally parallel to
the base on which the package rests as it is designed to be
displayed.
(4) Declarations of
identity on nonconsumer packages shall positively identify the commodity in the
package by its common or usual name description, generic name or the
like.

distributes a commodity at a place other than his principal place of business,
the label may state the principal place of business in lieu of the actual place
where the commodity was manufactured or packed or is to be distributed, unless
such statement would be misleading. Where the commodity is not manufactured by
the person whose name appears on the label, the name shall be qualified by a
phrase that reveals the connection such person has with such commodity, such as
"Manufactured for and packed by ________","Distributed by _____" or any other
wording of similar import that expresses the facts.
