N.Y. Agriculture & Markets Law § 209: Packages containing vinegar to be branded

§ 209. Packages containing vinegar to be branded. Every manufacturer

or distributor of vinegar, as defined in section two hundred and seven

of this chapter, shall plainly brand each cask, barrel or other

container of such vinegar with his name and place of business, the kind

of vinegar contained therein, in the terms defined in such section two

hundred and seven, and the substance or substances from which it was

made.

No person shall mark or brand as or for cider vinegar, or apple cider

vinegar, or dried apple vinegar, any package containing that which is

not cider vinegar, or apple cider vinegar, or dried apple vinegar, as

defined in such section two hundred and seven.

Every person who sells any vinegar other than cider vinegar or apple

cider vinegar not made from whole apples, or dried apple vinegar not

made from dried whole apples or from dried chopped apples, except it be

delivered to the purchaser in the unbroken branded package of the

manufacturer or distributor, shall plainly and conspicuously mark or

brand the receptacle or container in which such vinegar is delivered to

the purchaser, whether such receptacle or container be furnished by the

seller or purchaser, with a label showing the kind of vinegar, in the

terms defined in such section two hundred and seven, so delivered and

the substance or substances from which it was made.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the sale of cider vinegar

stock, provided it be sold as and for such and in compliance with the

provisions of this article as to marking or branding. The term "cider

vinegar stock" when used herein, shall be construed to mean acetified

apple juice of less acidity than that required for vinegar which

contains sufficient alcohol to develop the acidity required in vinegar.

The phrase "substance or substances from which it was made," when used

in this section, shall, when applied to "cider vinegar" or "apple cider

vinegar" not made from whole apples, be construed to mean the parts of

the apples, such as skins and cores, from which the vinegar was made,

and shall, when applied to "dried apple vinegar" not made from dried

whole apples or dried chopped apples, be construed to mean the parts of

the dried apples, such as skins, cores or pomace, from which the vinegar

was made.
