(2) protein and carbohydrate food ingredients from other than milk or meat sources;

(3) nutritive sweeteners other than lactose;

(4) characterizing ingredients except any containing meat or milk; and

This product shall not contain any milk, milk product, meat or meat product or any of their derivatives of any kind.

(b) Its fat content shall not be less than 10 percent, except that when bulky optional characterizing ingredients are used, the fat content may be reduced, as a result of the addition of such ingredients, but shall in no case be less than eight percent.

(c) Its content of food solids shall not be less than 1.3 pounds per gallon of finished product.

(d) The name of the product is “parevine”.

Letters on such sign shall be boldface capitals at least three inches in height and in contrasting color to the background. No such sign need be displayed if each customer is provided with a menu on which there is stated “ PAREVINE SERVED HERE” in boldface capitals as large as those used in listing most food items.

(f) The label on packages of parevine shall, in addition to all other required information, include a complete list of all ingredients in accordance with the provisions of 21 CFR 101.4.
