This section does not apply to beer or intoxicating liquor as defined in section 4301.01 of the Revised Code, or packages thereof, or to malt or brewer's wort, or packages thereof.
(B) Under division (A)(2) of this section, neither the qualifying term “when packed” or any words of similar import, nor any term qualifying a unit of weight, measure, or count that tends to exaggerate the amount of commodity in a package, shall be used.
(C) In addition to the declarations required by division (A) of this section, any package or commodity in package form, if the package is one of a lot containing random weights, measures, or counts of the same commodity and bears the total selling price of the package, shall bear on the outside of the package a plain and conspicuous declaration of the price per single unit of weight, measure, or count.
(D) No package or commodity in package form shall be so wrapped, nor shall it be in a container so made, formed, or filled, as to mislead the purchaser as to the quantity of the contents of the package, and the contents of a container shall not fall below any reasonable standard of fill that may have been prescribed for the commodity in question by the director.
