§ 1455
affixed to such commodity, of any printed
matter stating or representing by implication
that such commodity is offered for retail sale
at a price lower than the ordinary and cus-
tomary retail sale price or that a retail sale
price advantage is accorded to purchasers
thereof by reason of the size of that package
or the quantity of its contents;

a consumer commodity (other than one which
is a food within the meaning of section 321(f)
of title 21) bear (A) the common or usual name
of such consumer commodity, if any, and (B)
in case such consumer commodity consists of
two or more ingredients, the common or usual
name of each such ingredient listed in order of
decreasing predominance, but nothing in this
paragraph shall be deemed to require that any
trade secret be divulged; or
(4) prevent the nonfunctional-slack-fill of
packages containing consumer commodities.
For purposes of paragraph (4) of this subsection,
a package shall be deemed to be nonfunctionally
slack-filled if it is filled to substantially less
than its capacity for reasons other than (A) pro-

the requirements of machines used for enclosing
the contents in such package.
