Ariz. Admin. Code § R3-2-803 - Milk and Milk Products Labeling
A. The manufacturer or processor shall ensure
that milk and milk products listed in A.R.S. §
3-601(10),
and Sections 1 and 2 of the PMO are designated by the name of the product and
shall conform to its definition.
B.
The manufacturer or processor of milk and milk products shall conform with the
labeling requirements in A.R.S. §§
3-601.01
and
3-627,
Section 4 of the PMO, and 21 CFR 101, 131, and 133, amended April 1, 2017. This
CFR material is incorporated by reference, does not include any later
amendments or editions, and is on file with the Department and the Office of
the Secretary of State.
C. The name
of the manufacturer or processor shall be on all cartons or closures where it
can be easily seen. A manufacturer or processor that has plants in other states
shall use a code number or letter to designate the state in which a carton or
closure is manufactured or processed. If a manufacturer or processor has a
plant within Arizona, the Dairy Supervisor shall issue a code number or letter
for each plant and shall keep a record of the number or letter issued.
Manufacturers and processors shall include the Arizona code, 04, with the plant
code assigned by the Dairy Supervisor.
D. If milk or milk products are manufactured
or processed and packaged at a plant for other retailers and the container or
closure is not labeled the same as the manufacturer's or processor's like
product, the manufacturer or processor shall include the statement
"Manufactured or Processed at (name and address of plant or code number or
letter)" on the carton or closure. The carton or closure may also contain the
statement, "Distributed by: (name of person or firm)."
E. Any person planning to use a new or
modified label on a container shall submit the proposed label to the Dairy
Supervisor for review.
1. If the proposed
label does not meet labeling standards specified in subsection (B), the Dairy
Supervisor shall note the required changes on the proposed label, and sign and
return the proposed label to the applicant.
2. A person who requests additional time to
use the inventory amounts of slow moving cartons or closures before using a
modified label shall submit a written request to the Dairy Supervisor. The
Dairy Supervisor may approve continued use of the existing cartons and closures
if:
a. The use does not present a public
health issue, and
b. The
information on the cartons and closures is not misleading.
