6However, under paragraph (2) of this subsection reasonable
7variations shall be permitted and exemptions as to small
8packages which shall be established by regulations prescribed
9by the Director.
10    (f) If any word, statement or other information required by
11or under authority of this Act to appear on the label or
12labeling is not prominently placed thereon with such
13conspicuousness (as compared with other words, statements,
14designs or devices, in the labeling) and in such terms as to
15render it likely to be read and understood by the ordinary
16individual under customary conditions of purchase and use.
17    (g) If it purports to be or is represented as a food for
18which a definition and standard of identity has been prescribed
19by regulations as provided by Section 9, unless (1) it conforms
20to such definition and standard, and (2) its label bears the
21name of the food specified in the definition and standard and,
22in so far as may be required by such regulations, the common

18However, to the extent that compliance with the requirements of

23dietary uses, unless its label bears such information

7promulgated by the Director. This subsection and subsections
8(g) and (i) with respect to artificial coloring do not apply to

18and the common usual name and the function of such chemical;
19provided, however, that no such declaration shall be required
20while such commodity, having been removed from the shipping
21container, is being held or displayed for sale at retail out of
22such container in accordance with the custom of the trade.
23    (m) If it is a product intended as an ingredient of another
