    (b) Nutrition information for gift packs may be shown at a location 

other than on the product label, provided that the labels for these 

products bear no nutrition claim. In lieu of on the product label, 

nutrition information may be provided by alternate means such as product 

label inserts.

    (c) Meat or meat food products in packages that have a total surface 

area available to bear labeling greater than 40 square inches but whose 

principal display panel and information panel do not provide sufficient 

space to accommodate all required information may use any alternate 

panel that can be readily seen by consumers for the nutrition 

information. In determining the sufficiency of available space for the 

nutrition information, the space needed for vignettes, designs, and 

other nonmandatory label information on the principal display panel may 

be considered.
