				  requirements for optional ingredients, prescribed for ice cream by
				  2VAC5-510-30, except that in place
				  of optional dairy ingredients containing butterfat as permitted pursuant to

				  subtracting the weight of such optional ingredients as provided in
				  2VAC5-510-30 A, from the weight of
				  the finished mellorine, but in no case is the weight of edible fats or oils
				  other than milkfat, or the combined weight of edible fats and oils other than
				  milkfat and milk solids not fat to be less than 8.0% and 16% respectively of
				  the weight of the finished mellorine, and that whenever provisions appear in
				  2VAC5-510-30 referring to milkfat,

				  of mellorine.

				  product is "mellorine."

				  artificial color added," the blank to be filled in with the common or usual
				  name of the artificial color; or in lieu thereof, in case the artificial color
				  is a component of another ingredient, "...., artificially colored."
