CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 
                          SERVICES (CONTINUED)
 
PART 146 CANNED FRUIT JUICES--Table of Contents

                                Beverages
 
Sec.  146.145  Orange juice from concentrate.

    (a) Orange juice from concentrate is the food prepared by mixing 
water with frozen concentrated orange juice as defined in Sec.  146.146 
or with concentrated orange juice for manufacturing as defined in Sec.  
146.153 (when made from mature oranges), or both. To such mixture may be 
added orange juice as defined in Sec.  146.135, frozen orange juice as 
defined in Sec.  146.137, pasteurized orange juice as defined in Sec.  
146.140, orange juice for manufacturing as defined in Sec.  146.151 
(when made from mature oranges and preserved by chilling or freezing but 
not by canning), orange oil, orange pulp, and one or more of the 
sweetening ingredients listed in paragraph (b) of this section. The 
finished orange juice from concentrate contains not less than 11.8 
percent orange juice soluble solids, exclusive of solids of any added 
optional sweetening ingredients. It may be so treated by heat as to 
reduce substantially the enzymatic activity and the number of viable 
microorganisms.
    (b) The sweetening ingredients referred to in paragraph (a) of this 
section are sugar, sugar sirup, invert sugar, invert sugar sirup, 
dextrose, corn sirup, dried corn sirup, glucose sirup, dried glucose 
sirup.

    (c) The name of the food is ``Orange juice from concentrate''. The 
words ``from concentrate'' shall be shown in letters not less than one-
half the height of the letters in the words ``orange juice''.
    (d) When orange juice from concentrate contains any optional 
sweetening ingredient as listed in paragraph (b) of this section, 
whether added directly as such or indirectly as an added ingredient of 
any orange juice product used, the label shall bear the statement ``----
-- added'', the blank being filled in with the name or an appropriate 
combination of the names of the sweetening ingredients added. However, 
for the purposes of this section the name ``sweetener'' may be used in 
lieu of the specific name or names of the sweetening ingredients.
    (e) Wherever the name of the food appears on the label so 
conspicuously as to be easily seen under customary conditions of 
purchase, the statements specified in this section for naming the 
optional ingredients used shall immediately and conspicuously precede or 
follow the name of the food, without intervening written, printed, or 
graphic matter.
    (f) Label declaration. Each of the ingredients used in the food 
shall be declared on the label as required by the applicable sections of 
parts 101 and 130 of this chapter.
