U.S. certified food color may be added. The mix may be seasoned with salt and may be homogenized. Water may be added. The kind and quantity of optional dairy ingredients used, and the content of milk fat and total milk solids are such that the weight of milk fat and total milk solids are not less than ten percent and twenty percent, respectively, of the weight of the finished ice cream. If one or more of the optional flavoring ingredients specified in paragraphs (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of subdivision (4) of this section are used, the weight of milk fat and total milk solids are not to be less than ten percent and twenty percent, respectively, except for such reduction in milk fat and in total milk solids as is due to the addition of one or more of the optional ingredients specified in paragraphs (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of subdivision (4) of this section but in no case shall it contain less than eight percent of milk fat nor less than sixteen percent of total milk solids.

(7) The following harmless optional ingredients or combination of such ingredients may be added to control viscosity, adjust protein stability and adjust pH of the combined mix ingredients:
(a) Sodium bicarbonate;
(b) Magnesium oxide as such or as carbonate or hydroxide;
(c) Calcium oxide as such or as hydroxide or sucrate;
