                        TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
 
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 
                          SERVICES (CONTINUED)
 
PART 130 FOOD STANDARDS: GENERAL--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart A General Provisions
 
Sec.  130.14  General statements of substandard quality and substandard fill 

of container.

    For the purposes of regulations promulgated under section 401 of the 
act:
    (a) The term general statement of substandard quality means the 
statement ``Below Standard in Quality Good Food--Not High Grade'' 
printed in two lines of Cheltenham bold condensed caps. The words 
``Below Standard in Quality'' constitute the first line, and the second 
immediately follows. If the quantity of the contents of the container is 
less than 1 pound, the type of the first line is 12-point, and of the 
second, 8-point. If such quantity is 1 pound or more, the type of the 
first line is 14-point, and of the second, 10-point. Such statement is 
enclosed within lines, not less than 6 points in width, forming a 
rectangle. Such statement, with enclosing lines, is on a strongly 
contrasting, uniform background, and is so placed as to be easily seen 
when the name of the food or any pictorial representation thereof is 
viewed, wherever such name or representation appears so conspicuously as 
to be easily seen under customary conditions of purchase.
    (b) The term general statement of substandard fill means the 
statement ``Below Standard in Fill'' printed in Cheltenham bold 
condensed caps. If the quantity of the contents of the container is less 
than 1 pound, the statement is in 12-point type; if such quantity is 1 
pound or more, the statement is in 14-point type. Such statement is 
enclosed within lines, not less than 6 points in width, forming a 
rectangle; but if the statement specified in paragraph (a) of this 
section is also used, both statements (one following the other) may be 
enclosed within the same rectangle. Such statement or statements, with 
enclosing lines, are on a strongly contrasting, uniform background, and 
are so placed as to be easily seen when the name of the food or any 
pictorial representation thereof is viewed, wherever such name or 
representation appears so conspicuously as to be easily seen under 
customary conditions of purchase.
