What are the labeling requirements?
Produce is usually sold whole by weight or by count. When product is pre-cut and wrapped, it must include the following label: a) name, address and phone of the grower and packer b) accurate statement of weight, measure or numerical count c) the common or usual name of the food, and d) the common or usual name of each ingredient in descending order of prominence. Baked good, apiary products, maple sugars, syrups, cheese, james, jellies, preserves and similiar items that must be prepackaged prior to sale must be labeled to show the commodity name, weight, total price and business identification of the manufacturer, packer, distributor and ‘use-by’ date. Only items prepared in inspected and certified kitchen facilities are considered for vending at the Park Forest Farmers’ Market.
