Bill Summary
Relative to sales at retail for certain meats, poultry and fish. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 94 of the General Laws to require that all meats, poultry, and edible fish (except soft-shell clams and oysters) be sold at retail by weight. When the products are kept, offered, or exposed for sale from bulk by the portion or piece according to a pre-determined fixed weight, the product identity, net weight, and unit price must be displayed. If the products are combined with other food elements to form a distinctive food product, the quantity representation may be in terms of the total weight of the product or combination, and a statement listing the ingredients in order of their predominance by weight must appear on the label. Violators of this law can be fined $10 or subject to a civil citation.
