Sec. 146.141   Canned orange juice.

    (a) Canned orange juice is the food prepared from orange juice as 
specified in Sec. 146.135 or frozen orange juice as specified in 
Sec. 146.137, or a combination of both, to which may be added not more 
than 10 percent by volume of the unfermented juice obtained from mature 
oranges of the species Citrus reticulata or Citrus reticulata hybrids 
(except that this limitation shall not apply to the hybrid species 
described in Sec. 146.135). Seeds (except embryonic seeds and small 
fragments of seeds that cannot be separated by good manufacturing 
practice) are removed. Orange oil and pulp may be adjusted in accordance 
with good manufacturing practice. The adjustment of pulp referred to in 
this paragraph does not permit the addition of washed or spent pulp. 
Liquid condensate recovered from the deoiling operation may be added 
back. One or more of the optional sweetening ingredients named in 
paragraph (b) of this section may be added, in a quantity reasonably 
necessary to raise the Brix or the Brix-acid ratio to any point within 
the normal range usually found in unfermented juice obtained from mature 
oranges as specified in Sec. 146.135. The food is sealed in containers 
and so processed by heat, either before or after sealing, as to prevent 
spoilage. The finished canned orange juice tests not less than 10 deg. 
Brix, and the ratio of the Brix hydrometer reading to the grams of 
anhydrous citric acid per 100 milliliters of juice is not less than 9 to 
1.
    (b) The optional sweetening ingredients referred to in paragraph (a) 
of this section are sugar, invert sugar, dextrose, dried corn sirup, 
dried glucose sirup.
    (c) The name of the food is ``Canned orange juice''. All the words 
in the name shall appear in the same size, color, and style of type and 
on the same color-contrasting background. If the food is not sold under 
refrigeration and if it does not purport to be chilled pasteurized 
orange juice or frozen pasteurized orange juice, the word ``canned'' may 
be omitted from the name.
    (d) If one or more of the sweetening ingredients specified in 
paragraph (b) of this section are added to the canned orange juice, 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 used. However, for the purpose 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 statement 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.
