Bulk unpackaged food must be labeled if which condition applies?

Bulk unpackaged food must be labeled if which condition applies?

• A. The customer requests labeling
• B. The manufacturer claims the food is healthy
• C. It must be labeled for all bulk unpackaged foods
• D. Only for imported items

Answer: (B)

Bulk unpackaged foods require labeling whenever there is a health claim about the product. When a manufacturer asserts that the food is healthy, that claim must be clearly communicated to customers so they can evaluate it and make informed choices. The label (or clearly visible display) backs up the claim and helps prevent misinformation. This requirement isn’t activated by a customer asking for labeling, and it isn’t universal for all bulk items or limited only to imported goods.
