§ 14358 Livestock Drug Labeling Requirements

Food and Agricultural Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says you can only sell animal medicine if it stays in the original container it came in and still has the maker’s label on it.

Key Takeaways

•You must keep the drug in the container it was packaged in by the maker or distributor.
•The container must still show the maker’s or distributor’s label.
•Anyone who sells livestock drugs has to follow these rules.

Example

A farmer wants a dewormer for his sheep, and a store takes the medicine out of its original bottle and puts it into a cheap plastic jug without any label.

Because the drug isn’t in the original packaging and doesn’t have the manufacturer’s label, the store is breaking the law.
