N.Y. Agriculture & Markets Law § 50-i: Labeling of melloream and vegetable oil blends

§ 50-i. Labeling of melloream and vegetable oil blends. Whenever the

brand name of melloream or a vegetable oil blend, as defined in section

fifty-f, appears on the container so conspicuously as to be seen under

customary conditions of purchase, there shall immediately and

conspicuously precede or follow the brand name or product designation

without intervening written, printed or graphic matter in letters at

least one-third of the size of the brand name and on a contrasting

background, any one of the following statements: "melloream," "a

vegetable blend," "a vegetable oil product," "not a dairy product," and

the words "milk," "cream," "half and half," or "a mixture of milk and

cream" shall not be used on the package label of melloream or vegetable

oil blends except to the extent that there shall also appear on the

label an accurate list of ingredients. In the event that a product under

this section shall contain an ingredient which has been derived from

milk or a milk by-product or during its formation has used milk or a

milk by-product, the ingredient labeling shall after specifying the name

of the ingredient, place in parentheses the words "milk derived".

Persons or corporations offering such products for sale shall upon

request by the commissioner submit to him evidence in support of any

nutritional claims made for such products through advertising, labeling

or public announcement, and failure to submit such evidence or to revise

such claims in the manner suggested by the commissioner shall be

presumed to be a misbranding of said products within the meaning of

section two hundred one of this chapter.
