All poultry products inspected at any official establishment\n\nunder the authority of this act and found to be not adulterated\n\nshall at the time they leave the establishment bear, in distinctly\n\nlegible form, on their shipping containers and immediate containers\n\nas the Board may require, the information required under paragraph\n\n12 of Section 4 of this act. In addition, the Board whenever it\n\ndetermines such action is practicable and necessary for the\n\nprotection of the public may require nonconsumer packaged carcasses\n\nat the time they leave the establishment to bear directly thereon in\n\ndistinctly legible form any information required under such\n\nparagraph 12.\n\nB. The Board, whenever it determines such action is necessary\n\nfor the protection of the public, may prescribe:\n\n1. the styles and sizes of type to be used with respect to\n\nmaterial required to be incorporated in labeling to avoid false or\n\nmisleading labeling in marking or otherwise labeling any articles or\n\npoultry subject to this act; and\n\n2. definitions and standards of identity or composition\n\nfor articles subject to this act and standards of fill of container\n\nfor such articles not inconsistent with any such standards\n\nestablished under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or under\n\nthe Federal Poultry Products Inspection Act, and there shall be\n\nconsultation between the Board and the Secretary of Agriculture of\n\nthe United States prior to the issuance of such standards to avoid\n\ninconsistency between such standards and the Federal standards.\n\nC. No article subject to this act shall be sold or offered for\n\nsale by any person in intrastate commerce, under any name or other\n\nmarking or labeling which is false or misleading, or in any\n\ncontainer of a misleading form or size, but established trade names\n\nand other marking and labeling and containers which are not false or\n\nmisleading and which are approved by the Board are permitted. Any\n\nperson who violates the provisions of this subsection shall, upon\n\nconviction, be guilty of a Class D3 felony offense and shall be\n\npunished by imprisonment as provided for in subsections B through F\n\nof Section 20P of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes.\n\nD. If the Board has reason to believe that any marking or\n\nlabeling or the size or form of any container in use or proposed for\n\nuse with respect to any article subject to this act is false or\n\nmisleading in any particular, it may direct that such use be\n\nwithheld unless the marking, labeling, or container is modified in\n\nsuch manner as it may prescribe so that it will not be false or\n\nmisleading. If the person using or proposing to use the marking,\n\nlabeling or container does not accept the determination of the\n\nBoard, such person may request a hearing, but the use of the\n\nmarking, labeling, or container shall, if the Board so directs, be\n\nwithheld pending hearing and final determination by the Board. Any\n\nsuch determination by the Board shall be conclusive unless, within\n\nthirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such final\n\ndetermination, the person adversely affected thereby appeals to the\n\nDistrict Court of Oklahoma County. This provision would not apply\n\nto established trademarks or labeling approved by the U.S.D.A.","path":["OK Code","Title 2"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os2.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"3988a161bcdc9acf69a589997be62a989b274a887039e4cfeea05dc585edaab9","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-2-2-6-257","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-2-2-6-259"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
