offered for sale under the name of another food with or without other
descriptive words, or under any name which is likely to be misleading; 3) its
container is made, formed or filled to be misleading; 4) it is in package form
unless it bears a label containing prescribed information relating to weight
and measures of the content and the manufacturer's name and business location;
5) any word, statement or other information required by or under the authority
of the statutes relating to food misbranding does not appear on the outside
container or wrapper, if any, of the retail package of the food, or is not
easily legible through the outside container or wrapper; 6) it is not a food, unless
it bears labeling clearly stating the common or usual name of the food, if any,
and if made from two or more ingredients, the common or usual name of each
ingredient; or 7) other statutorily prescribed conditions exist (
