Introduced

SB 498 - This act provides that a food container shall not be deemed to be made, formed, or filled as to be misleading, misbranded, or unfairly marketed if the container is filled to less than its capacity for reasons as outlined in the act. Such reasons include protection of the contents of the package, reasonable industry standards for enclosing the contents in the package, product settling, the package performing a specific function, where a reusable container is part of the presentation of the food, the inability to increase the level of fill or reduce the size of the package, and other reasons outlined in the act.
