Article 17 - Adulteration, Packing, and Branding of Food and Food Products
204-B - Foods Containing Fats And/or Oils.

(b) For products that are blends of fats and/or oils and for foods in
which fats and/or oils constitute the predominant ingredient, the
listing of the common or usual names of such fats and/or oils in
parenthesis shall be in descending order of predominance.
(c) In all other foods in which a blend of fats and oils is used as an
ingredient, the listing of the common or usual names in parenthesis need
not be in descending order of predominance if the manufacturer, because
of the use of varying mixtures, is unable to adhere to a constant
pattern of fats and/or oils in the product.
(d) Fat and/or oil ingredients not present in the product may be
listed if they may sometimes be used in the product if such ingredients
are identified by appropriate language or words indicating that such
ingredients may not be present.
2. For the purposes of this section the term "food commodity in
package form" shall be construed to mean a food commodity put up or
packaged in any manner in advance of sale in units suitable for retail
sale, which has been packaged at point of manufacture and which is not
intended for consumption at point of manufacture and which is presently
not exempt from placing the ingredients on the label.
