Labeling of shelf life.

To ensure consumers full disclosure of the date beyond which milk or milk products may no longer be offered for sale, all dairy processors must establish and legibly label as prescribed by rule of the department, the maximum shelf-life period during which milk and milk products may be offered for sale. For purposes of this requirement, the term “legibly label” means to label the package or container with conspicuous and easily readable boldfaced print or type in distinct contrast to the background, by color.
