Cal. Food & Agric. Code § 38953 — Labels is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
An imitation milk product, the composition and physical characteristics of which closely resemble those of a milk product or a specified variety of a milk product may be labeled “imitation,” followed by the name of the milk product imitated; for example, “imitation milk,” “imitation coffee cream,” “imitation cheddar cheese.”
An imitation milk product, the composition and physical characteristics of which do not closely resemble those of a milk product or a defined variety of a milk product shall be labeled as “imitation” or “filled” or by any other term approved by the director, followed by a term which generally describes that category of milk product; for example, “imitation milk product,” “imitation cream product,” “imitation cheese product.”
