32.62 CONTAINERS, LABELS.
    Subdivision 1. Contents of labels. All cans or containers used in the sale or distribution
of mix, ice cream mix, mix base, or ice cream mix base shall bear a label attached to the same
giving the following information:
(1) Name of product;
(2) Percentage of milk fat contained in product;
(3) Percentage of total solids in products;
(4) Statement of net contents; and
(5) Name and address of manufacturer or distributor.
Every package of frozen foods packed by the manufacturer shall bear a label. The label shall
give the name of the product, the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor, a statement
of the net contents, and such other information as the commissioner may require pursuant to
section 31.12, and acts amendatory thereof. When the name and address of the distributor is
given on the label of mix, ice cream mix, mix base, ice cream mix base or frozen foods, the
name and address of the manufacturer also shall be given or in lieu of the name and address of
the manufacturer an identification number or code assigned by the commissioner of agriculture
may be used to represent such manufacturer.
    Subd. 2. Frozen foods, restrictions. (1) No person shall sell, advertise or expose for sale,
or offer for sale a frozen food, or mix, or mix base therefor, unless it conforms to a standard of
identity prescribed by the commissioner in accordance with law.
(2) When ice milk is sold, offered or exposed for sale in a package form, there shall be
conspicuously printed thereon in ink upon a contrasting background, in type not less than 24-point
Gothic capitals, the words "ice milk." When ice milk is served to a consumer, the owner, operator
or manager of such retail establishment shall have signs conspicuously posted on the inside of
such retail establishment with lettering large enough to be distinctly seen and read containing
the words "ice milk sold here." Such signs shall remain posted so long as ice milk is sold or
offered for sale to consumers.
(3) No person shall sell, advertise or offer or expose for sale any imitation ice cream.
(4) No person shall sell, offer for sale or advertise for sale any frozen food or mix, or mix
base therefor, if the brand name of the frozen food, or mix, or mix base or label upon it, or the
advertising accompanying it, shall give a false indication of origin, character, composition, name
of manufacturer, or is otherwise false or misleading in any particular.
