21 U.S.C. § 343–3 — Disclosure
submitted 88 years ago by Pub. L. 105-115 to r/title-21-FOOD-AND-DRUGS · 71 words · no verdicts yet
Federal food-adulteration and food-additive rules do not require a special radiation warning label. Any radiation disclosure just needs to be part of the normal ingredient list, not more prominent. A "radiation disclosure statement" is a written notice that food was intentionally irradiated.
(a) Nothing in section 321(n) (misbranding), 343(a) (misleading labeling*), or 348 (food* additives) of this title requires food labels to carry a separate written radiation disclosure that is more prominent than the required ingredient list under section 343(i)(2). In other words, a radiation notice can be included as part of the normal ingredient declaration; it does not need special, bigger, or separate treatment.
(b) In this section, a "radiation disclosure statement" means a written statement telling people that a food was intentionally exposed to radiation.
No provision of section 321(n), 343(a), or 348 of this title shall be construed to require on the label* or labeling* of a food* a separate radiation disclosure statement that is more prominent than the declaration of ingredients required by section 343(i)(2) of this title.
In this section, the term “radiation disclosure statement” means a written statement that discloses that a food has been intentionally subject to radiation.
