milk and safe and suitable nutritive carbohydrate sweeteners. The 
finished food contains not more than 0.5 percent by weight of milkfat 
unless otherwise indicated and not less than 24 percent by weight of 
total milk solids. The quantity of nutritive carbohydrate sweeteners 
used is sufficient to prevent spoilage. The food is pasteurized and may 
be homogenized.
    (b) Optional ingredients. The following safe and suitable 
characterizing flavoring ingredients, with or without coloring, and 
nutritive carbohydrate sweeteners may be used:
    (1) Fruit and fruit juice, including concentrated fruit and fruit 
juice.
    (2) Natural and artificial food flavoring.

method prescribed in ``Official Methods of Analysis of the Association 
of Official Analytical Chemists,'' 13th Ed. (1980), section 16.185, 
under ``Fat--Official Final Action,'' which is incorporated by
