Bulk unpackaged foods must be labeled if which condition applies?

• A. The customer asks for labeling
• B. The manufacturer claims the food is healthy
• C. It must be labeled for all bulk unpackaged foods
• D. Labeling is never required

Answer: (B)

When a product in bulk is advertised with a health claim, labeling becomes necessary to support that claim and provide clear, non-misleading information to customers. If the manufacturer says the food is healthy, there must be proper labeling to back up that claim (such as ingredient information, potential allergens, and any required disclosures). Bulk unpackaged items aren’t automatically labeled in all cases, and customers asking for labeling isn’t the trigger on its own, nor are all bulk items required to have labeling. Saying the item is healthy creates the need for accurate labeling to ensure transparency and compliance.
