    have been prescribed by rules adopted pursuant to section 4058 of this title or if it is an imitation of another food that is not subject to subdivision (7) of
    this section, unless its label bears in type of uniform size and prominence the word
    imitation and, immediately thereafter, the name of the food imitated. (4) If its container is so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading. (5) If in package form, unless it bears a label containing: (A) the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor; and (B) an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents in terms of weight, measure,
    or numerical count, provided that under this subdivision reasonable variations shall
    be permitted, and exemptions as to small packages shall be established by rules prescribed
    by the Department. (6) If any word, statement, or other information required by or under authority of this
    chapter to appear on the label or labeling is not prominently placed thereon with
    such conspicuousness (as compared with other words, statements, designs, or devices,
    in the labeling) and in such terms as to render it likely to be read and understood
    by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use. (7) If it purports to be or is represented as a food for which a definition and standard
    of identity has been prescribed by rules adopted pursuant to section 4058 of this title, unless: (A) it conforms to that definition and standard; and (B) its label bears the name of the food specified in the definition and standard and,
    insofar as may be required by the rules, the common names of optional ingredients
    (other than spices, flavoring, and coloring) present in the food. (8) If it purports to be or is represented as: (A) a food for which a standard of quality has been prescribed by rules adopted pursuant
    to section 4058 of this title, and its quality falls below the standard unless its label bears, in such manner
    and form as the rules specify, a statement that it falls below those standards; or (B) a food for which a standard or standards of fill of container have been prescribed
    by rules adopted pursuant to section 4058 of this title, and it falls below the standard of fill of container applicable thereto, unless
    its label bears, in such manner and form as the rules specify, a statement that it
    falls below the standard. (9) If it is not subject to the provisions of subdivision (7) of this section, unless
    it bears labeling clearly giving: (A) the common or usual name of the food, if any there be; and (B) in case it is fabricated from two or more ingredients, the common or usual name of
    each such ingredient; except that spices, flavorings, and colorings, other than those
    sold as such, may be designated as spices, flavorings, and colorings, without naming
    each, provided that, to the extent that compliance with the requirements of this subdivision
    is impractical or results in deception or unfair competition, exemptions shall be
    established by rules adopted by the Department
