South Carolina Code of Regulations
Chapter 5 - DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Article 6 - FOOD AND COSMETICS
Subarticle 4 - FOOD
Section 5-310 - Fabricated Foods

Universal Citation: SC Code Regs 5-310
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 3, March 22, 2024

In the case of fabricated foods, including mixtures of food ingredients, where the proportion of an expensive ingredient or ingredients present has a material bearing on price or consumer acceptance, the label of such food shall bear a quantitative statement of such ingredient(s) if the label without such declaration may create an erroneous impression that such ingredient or ingredients are present in an amount greater than is actually the case. For example, a label designation of identity as "cottonseed oil and olive oil" for a mixture containing eighty percent or more of cottonseed oil would require a declaration of the percent of olive oil present. Similarly, a representative by vignette or statement of identity that a breakfast syrup is made from a mixture of sugar syrup and maple sugar syrup would necessitate a quantitative declaration of the maple sugar syrup unless more than twenty percent maple sugar syrup is present.
