A. Quiescently frozen dairy confection means the frozen product made from water, milk products and sweetening agents, with added harmless coloring, with or without added stabilizing and emulsifying ingredients, and in the manufacture of which freezing has not been accompanied by stirring or agitation, generally known as quiescent freezing. It contains not less than 13% by weight of total milk solids, not less than 33% by weight of total food solids, not more than one-half of 1.0% by weight of stabilizing agents, not more than one-fifth of 1.0% by weight of monoglycerides or diglycerides or a combination of both, not more than one-tenth of 1.0% by weight of polysorbate 65 or polysorbate 80 or a combination of both. This confection must be manufactured in the form of servings individually packaged, bagged or otherwise wrapped, properly labeled and purveyed to the consumer in its original factory-filled package. In the production of this quiescently frozen dairy confection no processing or mixing prior to quiescent freezing shall be used that develops in the finished confection mix any physical expansion in excess of 10%.

B. Quiescently frozen dairy confection mix is the pasteurized unfrozen combination of ingredients that when frozen will produce a product conforming to the definition of quiescently frozen dairy confection.
