(2) Except for nondairy frozen dessert mix, all mixes shall be secured from a licensed manufacturer of milk products. (3) Ice cream mix, frozen yogurt mix, frozen dairy dessert mix, frozen dessert mix, and nondairy frozen dessert mix shall be manufactured into a semifrozen state without adulteration and freezing device salvage shall not be reused as a mix.
