- (1) The brand or product name shall not be misleading. If the name indicates the feed is made for a specific use the character of the feed must conform therewith. A mixture labeled “Dairy feed,” for example, shall be suitable for that purpose.
- (2) A name of a nonmedicated feed shall not be derived from one or more ingredients of a mixture to the exclusion of other ingredients and shall not be one representing any component of a mixture unless all components are included in the name.
- (3) The word “Vitamin”, or contraction thereof, or any word suggesting “Vitamin”, can be used only in the name of a feed which is represented to be a vitamin supplement, and which is labeled with the minimum content of each vitamin declared, as specified in subsection 5E-3.002(3), F.A.C.
- (4) The term “mineralized” shall not be used in the name of a feed except “Trace Mineralized Salt”. When so used, the product shall contain and the label guarantee significant amounts of trace minerals which are recognized as essential for animal nutrition.
- (5) When the brand name carries a percentage value it shall be understood to signify protein content. If any other percentage values are used in brand names they shall be followed by the proper description.
- (6) The word “protein” shall not be permitted in the product name of a feed that contains added non-protein nitrogen.
