A commercial feed shall be deemed to be misbranded:
(1) If its labeling is false or misleading in any way;
(2) If it is distributed under the name of another commercial feed;
(3) If it is not labeled as required in section 22-118m;
(4) If it purports to be or is represented as a commercial feed, or if it purports to contain or is represented as containing a commercial feed ingredient, unless such commercial feed or feed ingredient conforms to the definition, if any, prescribed by regulation by the Commissioner of Agriculture; or
(5) If any word, statement or other information required by or under authority of sections 22-118k to 22-118u, inclusive, to appear on the label or labeling is not prominently placed thereon with such conspicuousness, compared with other words, statements, designs or devices in the labeling and in such terms as to render it likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use.
