  of dietary or nutritional supplements

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 214-m  of  the  agriculture  and  markets  law,  as
amended  by  chapter  159  of  the  laws  of 1994, is amended to read as
follows:
  S 214-m. Labeling of certain food products.  1. If any  person,  firm,
corporation,  partnership, association or any other business association
which processes, manufactures or imports food products has  placed  upon
or accompanying the shipping container, shipping case, pallet or invoice
of  such food products, any information, whether in coded form or other-
wise, which specifies the expiration, "use by" date or similar date;  or
the  lot,  batch, date of manufacture or processing or other information
regarding the identity of the food product;  it  shall  be  unlawful  to
willfully  alter,  mutilate, destroy, obliterate or remove such informa-
tion other than in connection with the destruction of the  entire  ship-
ping container, shipping case, pallet or invoice. The provisions of this
section and any regulations promulgated hereunder shall not be deemed to
require  any  manufacturer, processor or importer of food products to so
label any food product prior to distribution in the state or to  prevent
a  manufacturer,  processor or importer of food products from correcting
or causing to be corrected any of the information accompanying the ship-
ping container, shipping case, pallet or invoice. The provisions of this
section shall not affect any provision of federal, state or  local  law,
ordinance,  rule or regulation regarding the placing of an expiration or
"use by" date on the retail container of any food product.
