# §106.60. Controls to prevent adulteration during packaging and labeling of infant formula.

- (a) A manufacturer shall examine packaged and labeled infant formula during finishing operations to ensure that all containers and packages in the production aggregate have the correct label, the correct use-by date, and the correct code established under [§ 106.80](/cfr/21/106.80.md).
- (b) Labels shall be designed, printed, and applied so that the labels remain legible and attached during the conditions of processing, storage, handling, distribution, and use.
- (c) Packaging used to hold multiple containers of an infant formula product shall be labeled as follows:
  - (1) Where all containers are the same infant formula product and all bear the same code established under [§ 106.80](/cfr/21/106.80.md), the packaging label shall include the product name, the name of the manufacturer, distributor, or shipper, and the code established under [§ 106.80](/cfr/21/106.80.md).
  - (2) Where the containers are not the same infant formula product or do not all bear the same code established under [§ 106.80](/cfr/21/106.80.md), the packaging label shall:
    - (i) Include the product name of each product, the name of the manufacturer, distributor, or shipper of each product, the code established under [§ 106.80](/cfr/21/106.80.md) for each product, and a “use by” date that is no later than the “use by” date of the container exhibiting the closest “use by” date applied to satisfy the requirement of [§ 107.20(c)](/cfr/21/107.20.md?p=c) of this chapter; or
    - (ii) Include a unique identification number assigned by the packager, provided that the distributor of the package maintains a record linked to such unique number that identifies the product name of each product, the name of the manufacturer, distributor, or shipper of each product, the code established under [§ 106.80](/cfr/21/106.80.md) for each product, and the “use by” date for each product applied to satisfy the requirement of [§ 107.20(c)](/cfr/21/107.20.md?p=c) of this chapter.
