Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Sections 4-5-6, 4-2-2, and 4-5-17 authorize the Department of Agriculture and Food to make and enforce regulations. The regulations establish the definitions and standards of identity, quality and fill of container in this state.

 

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received.

 

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

These regulations are established to protect the consumer.

Therefore, this rule should be continued.
