                        TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
 
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 
                           SERVICES--CONTINUED
 
PART 102--COMMON OR USUAL NAME FOR NONSTANDARDIZED FOODS--Table of Contents
 
       Subpart B--Requirements for Specific Nonstandardized Foods
 
Sec. 102.22  Protein hydrolysates.


    The common or usual name of a protein hydrolysate shall be specific 
to the ingredient and shall include the identity of the food source from 
which the protein was derived.
    (a) ``Hydrolyzed wheat gluten,'' ``hydrolyzed soy protein,'' and 
``autolyzed yeast extract'' are examples of acceptable names. 
``Hydrolyzed casein'' is also an example of an acceptable name, whereas 
``hydrolyzed milk protein'' is not an acceptable name for this 
ingredient because it is not specific to the ingredient (hydrolysates 
can be prepared from other milk proteins). The names ``hydrolyzed 
vegetable protein'' and ``hydrolyzed protein'' are not acceptable 
because they do not identify the food source of the protein.
    (b) [Reserved]
