266.170. A commercial feed shall be labeled as follows:



(1) In case of a commercial feed, except a customer-formula feed, it

shall be accompanied by a label bearing the following information:



(a) The product name, and the brand name if any, under which the

commercial feed is distributed. Single ingredient feeds shall have a product

name in accordance with the designated definition of feed ingredients as

recognized by the Association of American Feed Control Officials unless the

director designates otherwise;



(b) The guaranteed analysis stated in such terms as the director by rule

determines is required to advise the user of the composition of the feed or

to support claims made in the labeling, and in all cases the substances or

elements shall be determinable by laboratory methods from generally recognized

sources such as the methods published by the Association of Official

Analytical Chemists;



(c) The name of each ingredient used in the manufacture of the

commercial feed shall be that established by rule or the common or usual

name. The director by rule may permit the use of a collective term for a

group of ingredients which perform a similar function, or the director may

exempt such commercial feeds, or any group thereof, from this requirement of

an ingredient statement if the director finds that such statement is not

required in the interest of consumers;



(d) The name and principal mailing address of the manufacturer or the

person responsible for distributing the commercial feed;



(e) Adequate directions for use for all commercial feeds containing

drugs and for such other feeds as the director may require by rule as

necessary for their safe and effective use;



(f) Such precautionary statements as the director by rule determines are

necessary for the safe and effective use of the commercial feed;



(g) The quantity statement;



(2) In the case of a customer-formula feed, it shall be accompanied by a

label, invoice, delivery slip, or other shipping document, bearing the

following information:



(a) Name and address of the manufacturer;



(b) Name and address of the purchaser;



(c) Date of delivery;



(d) The product name and brand name, if any, and the net weight of each

commercial feed used in the mixture, and the net weight of each other

ingredient used;



(e) Adequate directions for use for all customer-formula feeds

containing drugs and for such other feeds as the director may require by rule

as necessary for their safe and effective use;



(f) Such warning or caution statements as the director by rule

determines are necessary for the safe and effective use of the

customer-formula feed.
