Section 2781 - Distillers Products(a) [Specify] Condensed Distillers Solubles is obtained after the removal of ethyl alcohol by distillation from the yeast fermentation of a grain or a grain mixture by condensing the thin stillage fraction to a semi-solid. The predominating grain must be declared as the first word in the name on the label; for example, "Corn Condensed Distillers Solubles."(b) Deoiled Corn Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles, Solvent Extracted, is the product resulting from the solvent extraction of oil from corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) to result in a crude fat content of less than three (3) percent on an as fed basis. It is intended as a source of protein. The label shall include a guarantee for minimum crude protein and maximum sulfur. The words "Solvent Extracted" are not required when listing as an ingredient in a manufactured feed.(c) [Specify] Distillers Dried Grains is obtained after the removal of ethyl alcohol by distillation from the yeast fermentation of a grain or a grain mixture by separating the resultant coarse grain fraction of the whole stillage and drying it by methods employed in the grain distilling industry. The predominating grain shall be declared as the first word in the name on the label; for example, "Corn Distillers Dried Grains."(d) [Specify] Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles is the product obtained after the removal of ethyl alcohol by distillation from the yeast fermentation of a grain or a grain mixture by condensing and drying at least 3/4 of the solids of the resultant whole stillage by methods employed in the grain distilling industry. The predominating grain shall be declared as the first word in the name on the label; for example, "Corn Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles."(e) [Specify] Distillers Dried Solubles is obtained after the removal of ethyl alcohol by distillation from the yeast fermentation of a grain or a grain mixture by condensing the thin stillage fraction and drying it by methods employed in the grain distilling industry. The predominating grain must be declared as the first word in the name on the label; for example, "Corn Distillers Dried Solubles."(f) [Specify] Distillers Wet Grains is the product obtained after the removal of ethyl alcohol by distillation from the yeast fermentation of a grain or a grain mixture. The guaranteed analysis shall include the maximum moisture. The predominating grain must be declared as the first word in the name on the label; for example, "Corn Distillers Wet Grains."(g) Molasses Distillers Condensed Solubles is obtained by condensing to a syrupy consistency the residue from the yeast fermentation of molasses after the removal of the alcohol by distillation.(h) Molasses Distillers Dried Solubles is obtained by drying the residue from the yeast fermentation of molasses after the removal of the alcohol by distillation.(i) Potato Distillers Dried Residue is the dried product obtained after the manufacture of alcohol and distilled liquors from potatoes or from a mixture in which potatoes predominate.Cal.
