(5) The term chemical preservative means any chemical that, when

added to food, tends to prevent or retard deterioration thereof, but

does not include common salt, sugars, vinegars, spices, or oils

extracted from spices, substances added to food by direct exposure

thereof to wood smoke, or chemicals applied for their insecticidal or

herbicidal properties.

(b) A food which is subject to the requirements of section 403(k) of

the act shall bear labeling, even though such food is not in package

form.

(c) A statement of artificial flavoring, artificial coloring, or

chemical preservative shall be placed on the food or on its container or

wrapper, or on any two or all three of these, as may be necessary to

render such statement likely to be read by the ordinary person under

customary conditions of purchase and use of such food. The specific

artificial color used in a food shall be identified on the labeling when

so required by regulation in part 74 of this chapter to assure safe

conditions of use for the color additive.
