    (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.
