28 Prescribed goods to be date marked

Prescribed goods shall have the date of packaging applied in clear to: (a) in the case of goods packed in an outer carton or other outer covering, other than a bag—the outer carton or other outer covering, and that date shall be the same as the date or code that appears on any intermediate packaging including cans; (b) in the case of goods packed in a bag—the prescribed tag or other tag; and (c) in the case of goods packed in a can—the can end, by indelible means or embossing, and where a date code has been approved by the Secretary, this may be used instead of the in‑clear date.
