(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.
