Sec. 146.187   Canned prune juice.

    (a) Canned prune juice is the food prepared from a water extract of 
dried prunes and contains not less than 18.5 percent by weight of water-
soluble solids extracted from dried prunes. The quantity of prune solids 
may be adjusted by the concentration, dilution, or both, of the water 
extract or extracts made. Such food may contain one or more of the 
optional acidifying ingredients specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this 
section, in a quantity sufficient to render the food slightly tart; it 
may contain honey added within the quantitative limits prescribed by 
paragraph (b)(2) of this section; and it may contain added vitamin C in 
a quantity prescribed by paragraph (b)(3) of this section. Such food is 
sealed in a container and so processed by heat, before or after sealing, 
as to prevent spoilage.
    (b) The optional ingredients referred to in paragraph (a) of this 
section are:
    (1) One or any combination of two or more of the following 
acidifying ingredients:
    (i) Lemon juice.
    (ii) Lime juice.
    (iii) Citric acid.
    (2) Honey, in a quantity not less than 2 percent and not more than 3 
percent by weight of the finished food.
    (3) Vitamin C, in a quantity such that the total vitamin C in each 6 
fluid ounces of the finished food amounts to not less than 30 milligrams 
and not more than 50 milligrams.
    (c)(1) The name of the food is ``Prune juice--a water extract of 
dried prunes''. For the purposes of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act concerning the label declaration of the name of the food, the 
explanatory statement ``A water extract of dried prunes'' may appear 
immediately below the words ``prune juice'', but there shall be no 
intervening written, printed, or graphic matter, and the type used for 
the words ``A water extract of dried prunes'' shall be of the same style 
and not less than half the print size of the type used for the words 
``prune juice''.
    (2)(i) When one or more of the acidifying ingredients specified in 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section are used, the label shall bear the 
statement ``------------ added'' or ``with added ------------'', the 
blank being filled in with the name or names of the optional ingredients 
used.
    (ii) When honey, as specified in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, 
is used the label shall bear the statement ``with ------------ honey'' 
or ``------------ honey added'', the blank to be filled in with the 
percent by weight of the honey in the finished food or with the 
statement ``between 2 and 3%''.
    (iii) When one or more of the ingredients designated in paragraph 
(b)(1) of this section and the ingredient designated in paragraph (b)(2) 
of this section are used, the statements specified in paragraphs (c)(2) 
(i) and (ii) of this section may be combined, as for example, ``with 
lemon juice and between 2 and 3% honey added''.

[[Page 442]]

    (iv) When vitamin C is added as provided in paragraph (b)(3) of this 
section, it shall be designated on the label as ``vitamin C added'' or 
``with added vitamin C''.
    (3) Wherever the name of the food appears on the label so 
conspicuously as to be easily seen under customary conditions of 
purchase, the words specified in this paragraph, showing the optional 
ingredients used, shall immediately and conspicuously precede or follow 
such name, without intervening written, printed, or graphic matter.
    (d) 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.
