(2) Its fat content shall be not less than 10 percent, except that when bulky optional characterizing ingredients are used, the fat content may be reduced, as a result of the addition of these ingredients, but may not be less than 8 percent.

(4) Parevine shall be sold, held, offered for sale by any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or any other seller only in factory-filled containers. Parevine may be served for consumption on the premises provided that the individual service is taken from a properly labeled factory-filled container. When parevine is served for consumption on the premises, a sign shall be conspicuously displayed on the sale premises or vehicle where it can be clearly read by customers under normal conditions of purchase, stating "PAREVINE SOLD HERE". Letters on the sign shall be bold face capitals at least 3 inches high and in contrasting color to the background. The sign need not be displayed if each customer is provided with a menu which there is stated "PAREVINE SERVED HERE" in bold face capitals as large as those in listing most food items.
