[§486-118]  Misbranding.  (a)  No person
shall deliver for introduction, hold for introduction or introduce into the
State; or keep, offer, or expose for sale; or sell any consumer commodity which
is misrepresented or misbranded in any manner.



(b)  The board, pursuant to section 486-7 and
chapter 91, shall adopt rules relating to misbranding.  The rules may:



(1)  Require any person involved in the manufacture,
processing, production, assembly, fabrication, or importation of a specified
consumer commodity to keep and make available for inspection or copying by the
administrator adequate records to substantiate the source of the consumer
commodity, or in the case of blends, the source of such constituents, as may be
required by the board;



(2)  Establish fanciful names or terms, and in the
case of blends, minimum constituent content by weight, to be used in labeling
to differentiate a specific consumer commodity from an imitation or look-alike;
and



(3)  Establish requirements to reconcile the
respective volumes of specific consumer commodities received versus the total
amounts output, either as whole or processed product or as blends.



In addition, the board may adopt other rules as
it deems necessary for the correct and informative labeling of consumer commodities.
