(4) The manufacture date, or a lot or batch number. The manufacturing date, or lot or batch number shall identify a specific set of primary containers or units of the same size, type and style, produced under conditions as nearly uniform as possible. A batch or lot may not extend for longer than 7 days.

(6) Labeling for artificially-fluoridated water shall include the words ‘‘fluoridated water.’’
(b) Corporate name and trade name. A bottled water system, vended water system or retail water facility whose corporate name contains the words ‘‘Spring,’’ ‘‘Well,’’ ‘‘Artesian,’’ ‘‘Mineral’’ or ‘‘Natural’’ or a derivative of those words, shall label each bottle with the trade name in typeface of at least equal size to the typeface of the corporate name.
