     3  follows:
     4    § 214-m. Labeling  of  certain food products.  1. If any person, firm,
     5  corporation, partnership, association or any other business  association
     6  which  processes,  manufactures or imports food products has placed upon
     7  or accompanying the shipping container, shipping case, pallet or invoice
     8  of such food products, any information, whether in coded form or  other-
     9  wise,  which specifies the expiration, "use by" date or similar date; or
    10  the lot, batch, date of manufacture or processing or  other  information
    11  regarding  the  identity  of  the  food product; it shall be unlawful to
    12  willfully alter, mutilate, destroy, obliterate or remove  such  informa-
    13  tion  other  than in connection with the destruction of the entire ship-
    14  ping container, shipping case, pallet or invoice. The provisions of this
    15  section and any regulations promulgated hereunder shall not be deemed to
    16  require any manufacturer, processor or importer of food products  to  so
    17  label  any food product prior to distribution in the state or to prevent
    18  a manufacturer, processor or importer of food products  from  correcting
    19  or causing to be corrected any of the information accompanying the ship-
    20  ping container, shipping case, pallet or invoice. The provisions of this
    21  section  shall  not affect any provision of federal, state or local law,
    22  ordinance, rule or regulation regarding the placing of an expiration  or
    23  "use by" date on the retail container of any food product.
