§ 14534 Fish Emulsion Definition

This law tells you exactly what can be called “fish emulsion” – it must be mostly made from fish and list any extra nutrients it has.

Key Takeaways

  • •At least 40% of the solid part must be from fish.
  • •The product can include extra nitrogen, phosphoric acid, or potash.
  • •Any added nutrients must be listed in the guaranteed analysis on the label.

Example

A garden store sells a bag labeled “Fish Emulsion Fertilizer.”

The bag can only use that name if at least 40% of the solid material comes from fish, and if it also adds things like extra nitrogen, phosphoric acid, or potash, those added ingredients have to be written on the label.
