    § 201-e. Halal food and food products; packaging. 1. All food and food
  products  packaged  in  any  container  and  sold or offered for sale as

    3. Any food or food product in  package  form  that  is  certified  or
  labeled as "halal" shall not be sold or offered for sale by the producer
  or  distributor  of  such food or food product until the producer or the
  distributor shall have registered with the department the name,  current
  address and telephone number of the person certifying the food as halal.
    4.  Any  food  or  food  product in package form that is marked with a
  generic marking used to convey that such food or food product is  halal,
  except  a  registered  trademark not used to represent such food or food
  product as halal, shall not be sold or offered for sale by the  producer
  or  distributor  of  such  food  or  food product until such producer or
  distributor shall have registered with the department the name,  current
  address  and  telephone number of the person certifying the food or food
  product as halal.
    5. As used in this section, the term "food or food product in  package
  form"  means  a food or food product not intended for consumption at the
  point of manufacture that is put up or packaged in any manner in advance
  of sale in units suitable for retail sale.
    6. Any advertisement for food or food products representing that  such
  food or food products are halal shall identify the name of the person or
  entity certifying such food or food products as halal.
    7.  Where  a  producer  or  distributor  is  required  to  register  a
  certifying person pursuant to  the  provisions  of  this  section,  such
  producer  or  distributor shall immediately notify the department of any
  change in the registration information.
    8. No  liability  for  misrepresentation  shall  be  incurred  by  any
  distributor   if   it   has   received  written  representation  from  a
  manufacturer of food and food products that its  certifying  information
  has  been  filed  with the commissioner; provided, however, that if such
  distributor  has  received  notice  from  the  commissioner   that   the
  information   filed  by  such  manufacturer  is  no  longer  valid,  the
  distributor will be liable  for  the  sale  of  misrepresented  products
  unless the distributor files valid certifying information.
