(c) A declaration of identity on a consumer package shall appear on the principal display panel and shall positively identify the commodity in the package by its common or usual name, description, generic term or the like. A declaration of identity on a consumer package shall appear generally parallel to the base on which the package rests as it is designed to be displayed.

(1) Common or decimal fractions of such largest whole unit; or in
(2) The next smaller whole unit or units with any further remainder in terms of common or decimal fractions of the smallest unit present in the quantity declaration.

(h) A declaration of quantity in terms of weight or measure shall be accompanied by a declaration of the count or size of the individual units of the commodity, unless a declaration of weight or measure alone is fully informative to the consumer. Such declaration shall appear on the principal display panel. A declaration of quantity in terms of count shall be accompanied by a declaration of the weight, measure or size of the individual units of the commodity, or of the total weight or measure of the commodity, unless a declaration of count alone is fully informative to the consumer. Such declaration shall appear on the principal display panel.
