The name shall be the actual corporate name, or, when not incorporated, the name under which the business is conducted.

The street address may be omitted if this is shown in a current city directory or telephone directory.

Where the commodity is not manufactured by the person whose name appears on the label, the name shall be qualified by a phrase that reveals the connection such person has with such commodity, such as "Manufactured for and packed by ______________________ ," "Distributed by ___________ ," or any other wording of similar import that expresses the facts.
