§347 Intrastate Sales of Colored Oleomargarine

Summary

Colored oleomargarine made and sold inside the same State must follow the same federal rules as if it crossed state lines. It must be sold in a package, weigh one pound or less per retail package, have the word "oleomargarine" or "margarine" on the label in type at least as large as any other text, list all ingredients, and have each portion wrapped with "oleomargarine" or "margarine" shown in at least 20-point type. These rules are extra to any other rules in the chapter. Places that serve food must show a clear notice if they have colored oleomargarine ready to serve, or list it on the menu in normal type. They may not serve it unless each serving is labeled as oleomargarine/margarine or each serving is triangular. When colored oleomargarine is served with meals and meets the packaging rules above, it is exempt from most other labeling rules in this chapter except paragraphs (a) and (f). Colored means a tint over one and six-tenths degrees of yellow, or yellow plus red with more yellow, measured by the Lovibond tintometer scale or an equivalent test.
