Falsely stated to be the product of a specific place or country
It is sold by a name belonging to another food item
It is colored, polished or presented in a manner so as to conceal a defect
If the label makes false claims about its quality and purity level
If the contents of a package are not correctly stated on the packing
If the package bears the name of a fictitious company or manufacturer
If it is falsely recommended for special dietary purposes
If the label does not declare the amount of the preservatives or artificial coloring included in the contents of the pack
It is not labeled in accordance with the set rules
