(without Chocolate) Date Published: 10/02/2015 Desc: Glorias Pecan Milk Candy Notes: VIOLATION: Product is misbranded within the meaning of Section 403(q) in that the nutrition facts panel does not meet the requirements in 21 CFR 101.9. Specifically, the Nutrition Facts Panel on the multi-unit container does not contain a listing of the percent of the Daily Recommended Value (DRV) given in a column aligned under the heading "% DV*", and the serving size is not given in common household units, the protein content is not expressed in grams. Additionally, the product is further misbranded within the meaning of Section 403(e) because the declaration of net quantity of contents on the multi-unit container does not state the quantity of each individual unit as required by 21 CFR l01.105(s).
