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

(b) Its fat content shall not be less than ten 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."

(e) Parevine may be sold from a dispensing freezer or dipped from a properly labeled bulk container. When parevine is sold in such manner from a dispensing freezer or dipped from a bulk container, a sign shall be displayed in such a location as it can be easily read by customers under normal conditions of sale, stating "Parevine Served Here".

1. Such sign shall be in bold face capitals on a contrasting background. In addition, if items containing parevine are listed on a menu board the statement "Parevine Served Here" shall be included on the menu board, in reasonable proximity to the items containing parevine. The letters in such statement shall be bold face capitals at least as large as the letters used in listing items containing parevine and on a contrasting background.

2. No such sign or menu board declaration shall be required if the only method of advising customers on what items are being offered for sale is a menu furnished to the customer. In such case, the menu shall contain the statement "Parevine Served Here". Such statement shall be in reasonable proximity to the menu items containing parevine and the letters of such statement shall be bold face capitals at least as large as the letters used in listing items containing parevine.
