N.Y. Agriculture & Markets Law § 215-a: Standards for enriched foods

§ 215-a. Standards for enriched foods. 1. The commissioner is hereby

authorized and empowered to establish after public hearing definitions,

standards of identity and standards of enrichment for any or all of the

food products within the following categories:

(a) wheat flour, corn flour and related products;

(b) bread, rolls and related bakery products;

(c) milled rice;

(d) macaroni and noodle products.

2. The standards of enrichment so established may prescribe maximum

and minimum amounts of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients which

enriched products must contain, or such standards may prescribe single

level requirements, with provisions for a reasonable overage within the

limits of good manufacturing practice. In establishing such standards of

enrichment, the commissioner shall conform, insofar as he finds

practical, to standards of enrichment promulgated by the secretary of

health, education and welfare pursuant to the federal food, drug and

cosmetic act, and acts amendatory thereof. Any standard established by

the commissioner after public hearing may be amended without hearing, if

the amendment substantially conforms to standards promulgated under the

federal act.
