                        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.  102.33  Beverages that contain fruit or vegetable juice.

    (a) For a carbonated or noncarbonated beverage that contains less 
than 100 percent and more than 0 percent fruit or vegetable juice, the 
common or usual name shall be a descriptive name that meets the 
requirements of Sec.  102.5(a) and, if the common or usual name uses the 
word ``juice,'' shall include a qualifying term such as ``beverage,'' 
``cocktail,'' or ``drink'' appropriate to advise the consumer that the 
product is less than 100 percent juice (e.g., ``diluted grape juice 
beverage'' or ``grape juice drink'').
    (b) If the product is a diluted multiple-juice beverage or blend of 
single-strength juices and names, other than in the ingredient 
statement, more than one juice, then the names of those juices, except 
in the ingredient statement, must be in descending order of predominance 
by volume unless the name specifically shows that the juice with the 
represented flavor is used as a flavor (e.g., raspberry-flavored apple 
and pear juice drink). In accordance with Sec.  101.22(i)(1)(iii) of 
this chapter, the presence of added natural flavors is not required to 
be declared in the name of the beverage unless the declared juices alone 
do not characterize the product before the addition of the added 
flavors.
    (c) If a diluted multiple-juice beverage or blend of single-strength 
juices contains a juice that is named or implied on the label or 
labeling other than in the ingredient statement (represented juice), and 
also contains a juice other than the named or implied juice 
(nonrepresented juice), then the common or usual name for the product 
shall indicate that the represented juice is not the only juice present 
(e.g., ``Apple blend; apple juice in a blend of two other fruit 
juices.'')
    (d) In a diluted multiple-juice beverage or blend of single-strength 
juices where one or more, but not all, of the juices are named on the 
label other than in the ingredient statement, and where the named juice 
is not the predominant juice, the common or usual name for the product 
shall:
    (1) Indicate that the named juice is present as a flavor or 
flavoring (e.g., ``Raspcranberry''; raspberry and cranberry flavored 
juice drink); or
    (2) Include the amount of the named juice, declared in a 5- percent 
range (e.g., Raspcranberry; raspberry and

[[Page 181]]

cranberry juice beverage, 10- to 15-percent cranberry juice and 3- to 8-
percent raspberry juice). The 5-percent range, when used, shall be 
declared in the manner set forth in Sec.  102.5(b)(2).
    (e) The common or usual name of a juice that has been modified shall 
include a description of the exact nature of the modification (e.g., 
``acid-reduced cranberry juice,'' ``deflavored, de colored grape 
juice'').
    (f) If the product is a beverage that contains a juice whose color, 
taste, or other organoleptic properties have been modified to the extent 
that the original juice is no longer recognizable at the time processing 
is complete, or if its nutrient profile has been diminished to a level 
below the normal nutrient range for the juice, then the source fruits or 
vegetables from which the modified juice was derived may not be depicted 
on the label by vignette or other pictorial representation.
    (g)(1) If one or more juices in a juice beverage is made from 
concentrate, the name of the juice must include a term indicating that 
fact, such as ``from concentrate,'' or ``reconstituted.'' Such terms 
must be included in the name of each individual juice or it may be 
stated once adjacent to the product name so that it applies to all the 
juices, (e.g., ``cherry juice (from concentrate) in a blend of two other 
juices'' or ``cherry juice in a blend of 2 other juices (from 
concentrate)''). The term shall be in a type size no less than one-half 
the height of the letters in the name of the juice.
    (2) If the juice is 100 percent single species juice consisting of 
juice directly expressed from a fruit or vegetable whose Brix level has 
been raised by the addition of juice concentrate from the same fruit or 
vegetable, the name of the juice need not include a statement that the 
juice is from concentrate. However, if water is added to this 100 
percent juice mixture to adjust the Brix level, the product shall be 
labeled with the term ``from concentrate'' or ``reconstituted.''
