of the same description and brand are weighed or measured together,
the package found to contain less than the stated or required weight
or measure shall be included in the six packages so weighed or
measured together, and such weighing or measuring shall be performed
with the same apparatus as that with which such package was weighed
or measured.

Matter forbidden in any Label.

3. (1.) No descriptive matter written on or attached to a package
   which contains any food or drug shall include any comment on, refer-
   ence to, or explanation of any statement or label required by these
   regulations to be written on or attached to any such package if such
   comment, reference, or explanation directly or by implication con-
   tradicts, qualifies, or modifies any such statement or the contents of
   such label.

(2.) No written pictorial, or other descriptive matter written on
or attached to a package which contains any food or drug shall include
any word, fancy name, statement, design, or device which is false or
misleading in any particular concerning the article or ingredients or
substances contained in such package.

(3.) No label which describes any article of food or drug shall
include the word “ pure ” or any word of the same significance unless
the article is of the prescribed composition, strength, purity, or quality,
and unless it is free from added foreign substance, save as specifically
permitted by these regulations.

Notification of Particulars where Food is sold otherwise than in
Packages.

4. (1.) Where any article of food is sold otherwise than in a package
   capable of being labelled as required in these regulations the person
   selling such article shall legibly mark on or keep attached to every
   container or vessel in which such food is stored immediately prior
   to sale a statement or label containing the information required by
   paragraphs (a), (c), and (d) of subclause (1) of clause 2 of these
   regulations. Such information shall appear together on a portion of
   the container conspicuous to the purchaser, in bold-faced sans-serif
   capital letters of not less than thirty-six points face-measurement,
   printed in such colours as to afford a distinct contrast to the ground
   colour on which they are printed : Provided that letters of less face-
   measurement may be used with the approval of the Medical Officer of
   Health.

(2.) Where any beverage is sold to the purchaser for consumption
on the premises in which it is sold, the person selling such beverage
shall keep posted conspicuously on the walls of that part of the pre-
mises in which the sale takes place a notice or such number of notices
as an officer may direct, upon which are written in letters which may
be easily read at a distance of fifteen feet the particulars as to such
beverage required in paragraphs (a), (c), and (d) of subclause (1),
clause 2, of these regulations. A further notice including in its contents
such particulars written in bold-faced sans-serif capitals of not less
than six points face-measurement, and in such colours as to afford a
distinct colour contrast to the ground on which they are written
shall be kept upon every table or counter at which such beverage is
intended to be served or consumed.

Prescribed Size of Types.

5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these regulations,
   words required to be written in types of size of not less than six points
   face-measurement may be written in types of proportionately reduced
   size when the package containing a food or drug for sale is so small
   as to prevent the use of types of the prescribed size.

Use of word “ guaranteed.”

6. Where any label attached to or marked on any package con-
   taining a food or a drug includes the word “ guaranteed ” or any
   word or combination of words having a similar meaning, it shall be
   deemed to imply, unless otherwise expressly stated, that the manu-
   facturer or other person whose name and address or whose trade-mark
   or whose stamp or brand appears on such label, or in the absence of
   such name and address, trade-mark, stamp, or brand, then the vendor
   of the food or drug, thereby guarantees to the purchaser that the con-
   tents of the package are of the composition and quality required by
   these regulations, and are of the weight or volume marked on the
   package.
