In countries where olive 'oil is the common edible oil the expression on food 

 products "Prepared with oil" or " Packed in oil" will be construed to mean 

 olive oil. Where a mixture of oils is used, or another oil than olive oil, a state- 

 ment to that effect should be made upon the label. 



This regulation in regard to labeling will go into effect on February 2, 1905. 

 Importers are requested to immediately acquaint their agents in foreign coun- 

 tries with this ruling, in order that the proper preparation of the labels may be 

 secured.
