(O) "MEAT FOOD PRODUCT" MEANS ANY PRODUCT
CAPABLE OF USE AS HUMAN FOOD WHICH IS MADE WHOLLY OR
PARTIALLY FROM ANY MEAT OR OTHER PORTION OF THE
CARCASS OF ANY LIVESTOCK. THE TERM DOES NOT APPLY TO
A PRODUCT (I) CONTAINING MEAT OR OTHER PORTIONS OF THE
CARCASSES ONLY IN A RELATIVELY SMALL PROPORTION, OR

(II)  WHICH HISTORICALLY HAS NOT BEEN CONSIDERED BY
CONSUMERS AS A PRODUCT OF THE MEAT FOOD INDUSTRY, AND

(III)  WHICH IS EXEMPTED FROM THE DEFINITION OF A MEAT
FOOD PRODUCT BY DEPARTMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection presently appears
as Art. 66C, §470C(l) of the Code. The
present reference to "cattle, sheep, swine,
or goats" is proposed for deletion and a
reference to "livestock" is added to the
first sentence for the reasons explained in
the revisor's note to §4-101(1). The only
other changes made are in style.

OF ANOTHER FOOD;

(3)  IT IS AN IMITATION OF ANOTHER FOOD,
UNLESS ITS LABEL BEARS, IN TYPE OF UNIFORM SIZE AND
PROMINENCE, THE WORD "IMITATION" AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER
IT, THE NAME OF THE FOOD IMITATED;

(4)   ITS CONTAINER IS MADE, FORMED, OR
FILLED SO THAT IT IS MISLEADING;

(5)    IT IS IN A PACKAGE OR OTHER CONTAINER
THAT DOES NOT BEAR A LABEL SHOWING (I) THE NAME AND
PLACE OF BUSINESS OF THE MANUFACTURER, PACKER, OR
DISTRIBUTOR, AND (II) AN ACCURATE STATEMENT OF THE

OR NUMERICAL COUNT. UNDER CLAUSE (II) OF THIS
PARAGRAPH (5), REASONABLE VARIATIONS MAY BE PERMITTED,
AND EXEMPTIONS FOR SHALL PACKAGES MAY BE ESTABLISHED
BY DEPARTMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS;
