SECTION 110505-110525

110505. Definitions and standards of identity, quality, and fill of
container, and any amendments to the definitions and standards,
adopted pursuant to the federal act in effect on the effective date
of this part, or adopted on or after that date, are the definitions
and standards of identity, quality, and fill of container in this
state. The department may, by regulation, establish definitions and
standards of identity, quality, and fill of container for any food
whether or not the definitions and standards are in accordance with
the federal regulations, when in its judgment such action will
promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers. This
section shall not apply to wine.

110510. In prescribing a definition and standard of identity for
any food or class of food in which optional ingredients are
permitted, the department shall designate the optional ingredients
that shall be named on the label. This section shall not apply to
wine.

110515. A temporary permit which is granted by the Food and Drug
Administration of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare of
the United States for interstate shipment of experimental packs of
food that vary from the requirements of federal definitions and
standards of identity is automatically effective in this state under
the provisions provided in the permit. The department shall issue a
permit when no federal permit exists and when the experimental packs
are to be manufactured and tested only within this state. The permit
is subject to any term or condition that the department may
prescribe.

110520. Definitions and standards of identity and quality for
distilled spirits and their amendments adopted by the Internal
Revenue Service of the Treasury Department of the United States in
effect on the effective date of this part, or adopted on or after
that date, are the definitions and standards of identity and quality
for distilled spirits in this state. The department may, by
regulation, establish definitions and standards of identity and
quality for any distilled spirit whether or not the definitions and
standards are in accordance with regulations adopted by the Internal
Revenue Service of the Treasury Department of the United States, when
in its judgment the action will promote honesty and fair dealing in
the interest of the consumers.

110525. The department may, by regulation, establish definitions
and standards of identity and quality for wine. Such definitions and
standards may incorporate in whole or in part, the regulations
adopted by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to the Federal
Alcohol Administration Act, pertaining to the standards of identity
and quality for wine. Standards of identity and quality for wine
adopted pursuant to this section may differ from or be inconsistent
with the standards promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury
pursuant to the Federal Alcohol Administration Act. No standard of
size, type, or fill of container for any wine subject to the
provisions of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, Division 9
(commencing with Section 23000) of the Business and Professions Code,
shall be adopted, but containers of wine sold in this state shall
conform to the then current standards for the containers, including
standards of fill, established by the Secretary of the Treasury
pursuant to the Federal Alcohol Administration Act.
