LABELING OF COMMERCIAL FEED

(a) Except as provided by Subsection (d) of this section, each container of commercial feed distributed in this state, other than customer-formula feed, must have a label with the following information: (1) the name and principal address of the person responsible for manufacture and distribution; (2) the brand or name under which the feed is to be distributed; (3) the quantity of the feed in the container, in either net weight, net volume contents, or net fluid content according to rules adopted by the service; (4) the guaranteed analysis of nutrients in the feed, listing a maximum or minimum quantity determinable by laboratory methods of protein, fat, fiber, and other components of commercial feed; (5) the common or usual name of each ingredient used in the feed; (6) the name and percentage of any hulls, shells, screenings, straw, stalks, corncobs, or other low grade feeding materials or fillers in the feed, if any; (7) an appropriate warning statement and directions for use relating to each medicine, drug, mineral, vitamin, antibiotic, or antioxidant in the feed; and (8) other information that the service may by rule require. (b) The manufacturer or other person distributing the feed shall affix the label required by this section to the outside of the container or cause it to be printed on the side of the container in the manner prescribed by the service. The information must be grouped together and plainly printed in English in the size of type prescribed by the service. (c) If the labeling information is shown on the container rather than printed on the label, the information must be plainly printed in a conspicuous place in the size of type prescribed by the service. (d) A person distributing in this state commercial feed in a container that holds an amount exceeding 110 pounds dry weight or 55 gallons liquid need not label the container in accordance with this section, but shall furnish the purchaser with a statement of the information in accordance with Section 141.052 of this chapter.
