The list of ingredients shall appear as part of or in addition to the true name of the product and shall show the common or usual name of the ingredients arranged in the order of their predominance, except that spices may be designated as "spices" or "flavorings," and flavorings including essential oils, oleoresins, and other spice extractives may be designated as "flavorings" without naming each. The name of an ingredient shall not be a collective name but shall be a specific name, as, for example, "beef," "pork," "beef tripe," "sheep livers," "pork snouts," "flour," "corn flour," "potato flour," "water," "nonfat dry milk," "tomato puree," and "beef broth"; provided, that when a product is coated with pork fat, gelatin, or other approved substance and a specific declaration of such coating appears in connection with the name of the product, the ingredient statement need not make reference to the ingredients of such coating; and provided further, that when the label bears the designation "compound" or "shortening" the term "animal and vegetable fats" or "vegetable and animal fats" may be employed to designate the ingredients of mixtures of such edible fats. "Animal fats" as used herein means inspected and passed fat derived from cattle, sheep, swine, or goats.
