(B) Declaration of each ingredient used in the manufacture by their common or usual name in descending order of predominate weight. This declaration shall be provided in writing to the food establishment by the manufacturer, packer, or distributor.

Such rule shall bear directly on the specific relationship between the disease actually transmitted and the dispensing methods permitted by this section. [L 1983, c 150, pt of §1]
