Regulation 28. Statement of Weight or Measure. A statement of the weight or measure of the food contained in a package is not required. If any such statement is printed, it shall be a plain and correct statement of the average net weight or volume, either on or immediately above or below the principal label, and of the size of letters specified in Regulation 17. A reasonable variation from the stated weight for individual packages is permissible, provided this variation is as often above as below the weight or volume stated. This variation shall be determined from the changes in the humidity of the atmosphere, from the exposure of the package to evaporation or to absorption of water, and the reasonable variations which attend the filling and weighing or measuring of a package. Regulation 29. Method of Stating Quantity or Proportion. In the case of alcohol the expression "per cent. of volume' shall mean the average percentage by volume in the finished product. In the case of the other ingredients required to be named upon the label, the expression "quantity" or "proportion" shall mean grains or minims per ounce or fluid-ounce, and also, if desired, the metric equivalents therefor, or milligrams per gram or per cubic centimeter, or grams or cubic centimeters per kilogram or per liter; provided, that these articles shall not be deemed misbranded if the maximum of quantity or proportion be stated, as required in Regulation 27. EXPORTS OF FOODS AND DRUGS. Regulation 30. Preparation of Products for Export. (Section 2.) Food products intended for export may contain added substances not permitted in foods intended for domestic commerce, when the addition of such substances does not conflict with the laws of the countries to which the food product is to be exported and when such substances are added in accordance with the directions of the foreign purchaser or his agent. The exporter is not required to furnish evidence that goods have been prepared or packed in compliance with the laws of the foreign country to which said goods are intended to be shipped, but such shipment is made at his own risk. Food products for export under this regulation shall be kept separate and labeled to indicate that they are for export. If the products are not exported they shall not be allowed to enter domestic commerce. Regulation 31. Denaturing. Unless otherwise declared on the invoice or entry, all substances ordinarily used as food products will be treated as such. Shipments of substances ordinarily used as food products intended for technical purposes must be accompanied by a declaration stating that fact, and must be so denatured as to prevent their use as foods. Regulation 32. Alteration and Amendment of Regulation. These regulations may be altered or amended at any time, without previous notice.
