The use of a geographical name in connection with a food or drug article not actually produced or manufactured in that place will be deemed a misbranding, except when by reason of long usage such geographical name has come to represent a generic term and is used to indicate a style, type, or brand. In all cases where such generic term is used, the name of the place of manufacture or production of the article must appear upon the principal label.

RULE 18. Name and address of manufacturer.—The name of the manufacturer or producer is not required to appear upon the label. If any name be given, it must be the true name.
