(2) If it is distributed under the name of another commercial feed or feedstuff.
(3) If it is not labeled as required by this chapter or the rules promulgated hereunder.
(4) If it does not conform to the definition of identity and standard of quality as prescribed by rule.
(5) If any word, statement, or other information required by this chapter to appear on the label or labeling is not prominently and conspicuously placed thereon in such terms as to render it likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use.
(6) If it is not appropriate for its intended or purported use.
