Generic frozen desserts shall be made from safe and suitable ingredients. A generic frozen dessert, whose unfrozen counterpart is subject to a definition and standard of identity, shall comply with that definition and standard of identity, and ingredient provisions, except that safe and suitable ingredients may additionally be used that are necessary in the manufacture of the frozen dessert.

(b) The name of the frozen dessert shall be: "Frozen ...". The blank shall be filled in with the common or usual name of the unfrozen counterpart of the food or, in the absence thereof, an appropriate descriptive term.
