         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 784_PROVISIONS OF THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT APPLICABLE TO FISHING 
AND OPERATIONS ON AQUATIC PRODUCTS--Table of Contents
 
Subpart B_Exemptions Provisions Relating to Fishing and Aquatic Products
 
Sec. 784.111  Operations on named products with substantial amounts of 
other ingredients are not exempt.

    To exempt employees employed in first processing, canning, or 
processing products composed of the named commodities and a substantial 
amount of ingredients not named in the exemptions would be contrary to 
the language and purposes of such exemptions which specifically 
enumerate the commodities on which exempt operations were intended to be 
performed. Consequently, in such situations all operations performed on 
the mixed products at and from the time of the addition of the foreign 
ingredients, including those activities which are an integral part of 
first processing, canning, or processing are nonexempt activities. 
However, activities performed in connection with such operations on the 
named aquatic products prior to the addition of the foreign ingredients 
are deemed exempt operations under the applicable exemption. Where the 
commodity produced from named aquatic products contains an insubstantial 
amount of products not named in the exemption, the operations will be 
considered as performed on the aquatic products and handling and 
preparation of the foreign ingredients for use in the exempt operations 
will also be considered as exempt activities.
