the presence of which provides a characteristic distinguishable by a  pet.
Any flavor designation on a pet food label shall  either   conform   to   the 
name of its source as shown in the ingredient statement  or  the   ingredient 
statement shall show the source of the flavor. The word  "flavor"  shall   be 
printed in the same size type and with an equal degree of  conspicuousness as 
the ingredient term or terms   from   which   the   flavor   designation   is 
derived. A distributor of pet  food  employing  a   flavor   designation   or 
claims on the labels of the product distributed by it  shall,  upon  request, 
supply verification of the designation or claimed flavor.
  (b) The designation "100%" or "all"  or  words   of   similar   connotation 
shall not be used in the brand or  product  name  of  a  pet   food   if   it 
contains more  than  1  ingredient.  However,  for  the   purpose   of   this 
subdivision, water sufficient for   processing,   required   decharacterizing 
agents, and trace amounts of preservatives and  condiments   shall   not   be 
considered ingredients.
  (c) The terms "meat"  and  "meat  by-products"  shall   be   qualified   by 
designating the animal from  which  the  meat  and   meat   by-products   are 
derived unless the meat and  meat  by-products  are   from   cattle,   swine, 
sheep, and goats. For example, "horsemeat" and "horsemeat by-products."
  (d) The name of a  pet  food  shall  not  be  derived  from   1   or   more 
ingredients of a mixture to the exclusion of other  ingredients   and   shall 
not be one representing any components of a mixture of a  pet  food   product 
unless all components or ingredients are ingredients included in the  name as 
specified by subdivisions (a), (e), or (f). The name of   an   ingredient  or 
combination of ingredients may be used as a part of the product name if 1  of 
the following exists:
  (i)  The  ingredient  or  combination  of  ingredients   is   present    in 
sufficient quantity to impart a distinctive characteristic to the  product or 
is presented in amounts which have a material bearing upon the price  of  the 
product or upon acceptance of the product by the purchaser thereof.
  (ii) It does not constitute a  representation  that   the   ingredient   or 
combination  of  ingredients  is  present  to  the   exclusion    of    other 
ingredients.
  (iii) It is not otherwise false or misleading.
  (e) If an ingredient or combination of ingredients  derived  from  animals, 
poultry, or fish constitutes 95% or  more  of  the  total   weight   of   all 
ingredients of a pet food mixture, the name or names of  such  ingredient  or 
ingredients may form a part of the product name of the  pet   food   provided 
that where more than 1 ingredient is part of such product  name,   then   all 
such ingredient names shall be in the same size, style, and  color  print.
  (f) If an ingredient or combination of ingredients  derived  from  animals, 
poultry, or fish constitutes at least 25% but less than 95%  of   the   total 
weight of all ingredients of a pet food mixture, the name or  names  of  such 
ingredient or ingredients may form a part of the product name  of   the   pet 
food only if the product name also includes  a   primary   descriptive   term 
such as "meatballs" or "fishcakes" so that the product  name  describes   the 
contents of the product in accordance with an established  law,  custom,   or 
usage or so that the product name is not misleading.  All   such   ingredient 
names and the primary descriptive term shall be in the  same   size,   style, 
and color print.
  (g) Contractions or coined names referring to ingredients  shall   not   be 
used in the brand name of a pet food  unless  it  is   in   compliance   with 
subdivisions (a), (d), (e), or (f).

R  285.635.5   Brand and product names.
  Rule 5. The brand and product names  on  commercial   feeds,   except   pet 
foods, shall comply with the following:
  (a) The brand or product name shall be appropriate for the intended  use of 
the feed and shall not be misleading. If the name indicates the feed is  made 
for  a  specific   use,   the   character   of   the   feed   shall   conform 
therewith. A mixture labeled "dairy feed," for example,  shall  be   suitable 
for that purpose.
  (b) Commercial, registered brand, or trade names shall not be  permitted in 
guarantees or ingredient listings.
  (c) The name of a commercial feed shall not be derived from   1   or   more

not be one representing components of a mixture unless  all  components   are 
included in the name. If any ingredient or combination  of   ingredients   is 
intended to impart a distinctive characteristic to the product  which  is  of 
significance to the purchaser, the name of that ingredient or  combination of 
ingredients may be used as a part of the brand name or product name   if  the 
ingredient or combination  of  ingredients  is  listed  in   the   ingredient 
statement and the  brand  or  product  name  is  not   otherwise   false   or 
misleading.
  (d) The word "protein" shall not be permitted in the product  name   of   a 
feed that contains added nonprotein nitrogen.
  (e) When the name carries a percentage value, it shall  be  understood   to 
signify protein or equivalent protein content only, or both,  even  though it 
may not explicitly modify the  percentage  with  the  word  "protein."  Other 
percentage values may be permitted if they  are  followed   by   the   proper 
description and conform to generally acceptable labeling  practice.  When   a 
numeral is used in the brand name, except in mineral,   vitamin,   or   other 
products where the protein guarantee is nil or unimportant,   it   shall   be 
preceded by the word "number," or some other suitable designation.
  (f) Single ingredient feeds shall have a product name  in  accordance  with 
the designated definition of feed  ingredients  as   recognized   by   AAFCO, 
unless the director designates otherwise.
  (g) The word "vitamin," a contraction thereof, or   any   word   suggesting 
vitamin may be used only in the name of a feed which is represented to  be  a 
vitamin supplement, and which is labeled with  the  minimum  content  of each 
vitamin declared, as specified in R 285.635.8(3).
  (h) The term "mineralized" shall not be used in  the  name   of   a   feed, 
except for "trace mineralized salt."  When  so  used,   the   product   shall 
contain significant amounts of trace  minerals  which   are   recognized   as 
essential for animal nutrition.
