    (a) Description. Mixed dairy product chocolates are the foods that 
conform to the standard of identity, and are subject to the requirements 
for label declaration of ingredients for milk chocolate in Sec. 163.130, 
except that:
    (1) The optional dairy ingredients for each of the foods are 
mixtures of two or more of the following:
    (i) Any dairy ingredients specified in Sec. 163.130;
    (ii) Any dairy ingredients specified in Sec. 163.135;
    (iii) Any dairy ingredients specified in Sec. 163.140; or
    (iv) Malted milk; and
    (2) The finished mixed dairy product chocolates shall contain not 
less than 12 percent by weight of total milk solids derived from those 
dairy products referred to in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, 
exclusive of any added sweetener or other dairy-derived ingredient that 
is added beyond that amount that is normally present in the specified 
dairy product, and may contain less than 3.39 percent by weight of 
milkfat. The quantity of each component used in any such mixture is such

``chocolate coating'', preceded by the designation of the type of milk 
ingredients used as prescribed in paragraph (a) of this section in order 
of predominance by weight, e.g., ``milk and skim milk chocolate''.
