(7) If it purports to be or is represented as a food for which a definition and standard of identity has been prescribed by regulations as provided by KRS 217.135 unless: <br>(a) It conforms to such definition and standard;

provided that, to the extent that compliance <br>with this subsection is impractical or results in deception or unfair <br>competition, exemptions shall be established by regulations promulgated by <br>the secretary; (10) If it purports to be or is represented for special dietary uses, unless its label bears such information concerning its vitamin, mineral, and other dietary properties as the <br>secretary determines to be, and by regulations prescribes as, necessary in order to <br>fully inform purchasers as to its value for such uses; (11) If it bears or contains any artificial flavoring, artificial coloring, or chemical preservative, unless it bears labeling stating that fact; provided that to the extent that <br>compliance with the requirements of this subsection is impracticable, exemptions <br>shall be established by regulations promulgated by the secretary; (12) If it is a product intended as an ingredient of another food and when used according to the directions of the purveyor will result in the final food product being <br>adulterated or misbranded; (13) If it is a raw agricultural commodity which is the produce of the soil, bearing or containing a pesticide chemical applied after harvest, unless the shipping container <br>of such commodity bears labeling which declares the presence of such chemical in <br>or on such commodity and the common or usual name and the function of such <br>chemical; provided, however, that no such declaration shall be required while such <br>commodity, having been removed from the shipping container, is being held or <br>displayed for sale at retail out of such container in accordance with the custom of <br>the trade; (14) If it is a color additive unless its packaging and labeling are in conformity with such packaging and labeling requirements applicable to such color additive prescribed <br>under the provisions of the federal act.
