No person subject to the prohibition contained in Section
12602 shall distribute or cause to be distributed in commerce any
packaged commodity if any qualifying words or phrases appear in
conjunction with the separate statement of the net quantity of
contents required by Section 12603(b), but nothing in this chapter
shall prohibit supplemental statements, at other places on the
package describing in nondeceptive terms the net quantity of
contents: provided, that such supplemental statements of net quantity
of contents shall not include any term qualifying a unit of weight,
measure, or count that tends to exaggerate the amount of the
commodity contained in the package.
   In no case shall any declaration of quantity be qualified by the
addition of the words "minimum," or "when packed," or words of
similar import; nor shall any unit of weight, measure or count be
qualified by any term (such as jumbo, giant, full, or the like) that
tends to exaggerate the amount of the commodity in the package.
