I, ________ of ________, certify that if the article(s) covered by this entry (entry no.(s) ____ dated ____), is (are) repacked in retail container(s) e.g., blister packs), while still in my possession, the new container(s) will not conceal or obscure the country of origin marking appearing on the article(s), or else the new container(s), unless excepted, shall be marked in a conspicuous place as legibly, indelibly, and permanently as the nature of the container(s) will permit, in such manner as to indicate the country of origin of the article(s) to the ultimate purchaser(s) in accordance with the requirements of 19 U.S.C. 1304 and 19 CFR part 134. I further certify that if the article(s) is (are) intended to be sold or transferred by me to a subsequent purchaser or repacker, I will notify such purchaser or transferee, in writing, at the time of sale or transfer, of the marking requirements.
It is important to point out, however, that Section 12(a) is limited to unlawful sale or distribution, which is defined in FIFRA 2(gg) to exclude "the holding or application of registered pesticides ... by any applicator who provides a service of controlling pests without delivering any unapplied pesticide to any person so served." See also FIFRA 2(e)(1). This limits EPA's authority to regulate advertising claims made by certain home lawn care service companies that do not sell or distribute pesticides but merely apply them. To the extent EPA lacks regulatory authority over advertising of services, however, the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC's) broad authority to regulate advertising provides a means to regulate and enforce against excessive or misleading claims made by lawn care operators. Therefore, lawn care operators that do not sell or distribute pesticides but make false or misleading claims about their services, may be subject to enforcement by the FTC.

FIFRA section 2(ee) bulletins are recommendations, allowed by section 2(ee)(2) of FIFRA, advocating use of a product on a pest not specified on the labeling if the pest is on a site listed on the label and the agency has not required labeling that only allows use on specified pests. FIFRA section 2(ee) bulletins may be distributed by virtually any means; i.e., through extension personnel, industry representatives, at the point of sale, displayed with the product, or downloaded off the Internet, provided the bulletin is factually correct and conforms to the restrictions of section 2 (ee). EPA does not allow 2(ee) bulletins for antimicrobial products with public health claims (i.e., targeted against human pathogens, 40 CFR 168.22(b) (5)) or other products with such claims. FIFRA section 2(ee) reads as follows:
Applicants may propose other changes in labeling but should be advised that label changes could give rise to a determination that the product is not eligible for the formulators exemption or "me-too" treatment under section 3(c)(7)(A) and 3(c)(3)(B) of FIFRA and that data must be submitted or cited to support such changes. As for dropping uses or adding restrictions to the label of a registered repack, 40 CFR 152.130(b) allows distribution or sale of a product with "labeling bearing any subset of approved uses provided that in limiting the uses listed on the label, no change would be necessary in precautionary statements, use classification, or packaging of the product." Therefore a 100% repack label could be marketed with all or some of the registered uses so long as limiting the use would not require a change in precautionary statements, use classification, or packaging of the product. However, if a registrant actually seeks to delete a use from the registration (rather than simply market a subset of approved uses), the product label must be amended through traditional label amendment procedures (except when uses are being deleted in response to a data call-in, See PR-N 98-10 II.F) and in all such cases the voluntary cancellation procedure found in FIFRA 6(f) must be used to delete the use from the registration. Adding restrictions to a label would necessitate changes in the directions for use on the label and such changes cannot be made through notification per PR Notice 98-10 but must be submitted as an amendment.
Attaching supplemental labeling inappropriately, either by downloading supplemental labeling from a website or handing out hard copy supplemental labeling at the point of sale, could be unlawful if it violates the production establishment registration and reporting provisions of FIFRA Section 7 (see FIFRA 12(a)(2)(L)). Further, sale and distribution of product that is inappropriately accompanied by supplemental labeling could constitute sale and distribution of a misbranded pesticide or a product with claims that substantially differ from what has been approved, which are an unlawful acts under FIFRA 12(a)(1)(E) and FIFRA 12(a)(1)(B).
Article 20-C Food Processing Establishment licenses apply to food manufactures, processing plants, wholesale bakeries, and retail food establishments (i.e. grocery stores) that conduct any type of food preparation including but not limited to meat and cheese slicing, heating foods, sandwich making, operating beverage dispensing machines, and preparing sushi, salad bars, or other ready-to-eat exposed food packaging activity.
This application is for food manufactures, processing plants, wholesale bakeries and retail food establishments (i.e., grocery stores) that conduct any type of food preparation including but not limited to, meat and cheese slicing, heating foods, sandwich making, operating beverage dispensing machines, and preparing sushi, salad bars, or other ready to eat exposed food packaging activity.
A: It depends on the specific activities conducted. 5A licensed slaughterhouses operating under the Producer/Grower or Small Enterprise 20,000 bird limit exemptions are permitted per USDA exemption to sell to, or use in their own retail business, amenable poultry. The Producer/Grower/Other Person (PGOP) 20,000 bird limit exemption does not allow sales to retail stores. They can however use their amenable slaughtered poultry in their own (same ownership) retail business. Live bird markets cannot sell to retail businesses or use amenable poultry in a retail business they own.
What are the obligations of an importer concerning the marking of repacked goods?
If an article is intended to be repacked in new containers for sale to an ultimate purchaser after its release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody, the importer must certify that if he does the repacking, he shall not obscure or conceal the country of origin marking, or that the new container will be properly marked. If the article is intended to be sold or transferred to a subsequent purchaser or repacker, the importer must certify that he/she will notify the subsequent purchaser or repacker (in writing) of the marking requirements.
Retail products cover all food items being offered for sale at retail, as opposed to those food products found at other levels of trade (such as manufacturing, importing, wholesale, distributor or customs). The food products found at retail may have been produced and/or packaged and labelled on the retailer's own premises or may have originated at some other trade level.
As the retail outlet is the point at which the product is offered to the consumer, the retailer is responsible for ensuring that a product that is packaged and/or weighed in store meets regulatory requirements. Manufacturers and importers share joint responsibility with retailers in ensuring that factory-packed and imported foods are also properly labelled. Under both the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR) and the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR), the manufacturer or importer of a prepackaged food is obligated to label the product before it is distributed for retail sale. Failure by the manufacturer or importer to do so does not exempt the retailer from the same responsibility. The retailer would also be liable if unlabelled goods were sold at retail; the retailer could not claim that it was the manufacturer or importer alone who was responsible.
Most foods prepackaged at retail must be labelled, including those that are prepackaged but available to the consumer only on request (for example, consumer prepackaged foods kept in a service counter). Please note the FDR and the SFCR provide exemptions from the requirement to carry a label for certain prepackaged foods [B.01.003, FDR; 213, 214, 217, SFCR].
In general, mandatory information on labels of consumer prepackaged food is required to be presented in both English and French. Certain products produced and/or packaged and labelled at retail may be considered as local foods for the purposes of a bilingual labelling exemption, depending on where they are sold [B.01.012(1), FDR; 206, SFCR].
Where this exemption for local foods applies to gift baskets made and sold at retail, any consumer prepackaged food present within the gift basket must be bilingually labelled as per regulatory requirements unless a bilingual labelling exemption applies to that food.
There are specific date marking requirements for foods packaged on the retail premises that have 90 days or less of anticipated shelf life. Additionally, foods repackaged by the retailer have further date marking requirements (see Foods repacked by a retailer).
When a product is removed from a modified atmosphere container or package at retail, the durable life of that product may change and the retailer becomes responsible for establishing appropriate durable life information. To determine in what manner the durable life for these foods must be provided when they have been repackaged or altered at retail, refer to Modified atmosphere packaged foods.
At retail, the name and principal place of business declaration is mandatory on all prepackaged products. Consumer prepackaged fresh fruits or vegetables that are packaged at retail and are visibly identifiable in their packaging are specifically exempted from this requirement, in addition to certain other prepackaged foods that are exempt from the requirement to carry a label.
