- **FDA notes:** The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to Section 801(a)(3) in that it appears to be misbranded within the meaning of section 403(a)(1) of the Act [21 U.S.C. §343(a)(1)] in that the label is false and misleading. Specifically, the outer container label declares "Includes 0g Added Sug.;" however, the ingredient statement declares sugar. The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to Section 801(a)(3) in that it appears to be misbranded within the meaning of section 403(f) of the Act [21 U.S.C. §343(f)] because the individual unit fails to have all mandatory information in English in accordance with 21 CFR 101.15(c)(1). The individual unit label contains information in a foreign language; it does not appear to be subject to conditions and exemptions provided by 21 CFR 1.24(a)(14) because each individual unit appears to have a bar code; and, the outer container label does not appear to have all mandatory labeling statements in the foreign language. The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to Section 801(a)(3) in that it appears to be misbranded within the meaning of section 403(e)(2) of the Act [21 U.S.C. §343(e)(2)] because the net weight on the outer container label does not appear to be accurate; the lid declares 1kg in the foreign declaration, but the English declaration states 30g/1.05oz.; and, the nutrition information states that each unit is 15g and that there are 67 servings per container, which equals 1005g, which is closer to the amount provided in the foreign language. _(verified: appears in the quote below)_
