(2)  All high-density frozen concentrated orange juice sold or shipped, or offered for sale or shipment, in retail or institutional size containers shall comply with all requirements applicable to frozen concentrated orange juice in retail or institutional size containers, except as to the density of the concentrated food. The percent by weight of orange juice soluble solids contained in the reconstituted food made from high-density frozen concentrated orange juice when the label directions for dilution are followed shall be the same as is prescribed by the Department of Citrus for frozen concentrated orange juice in retail or institutional size containers.

The term "dilution ratio" means the number of volumes of water per volume of high-density frozen concentrated orange juice prescribed by the label for reconstituting the food. The nomenclature requirements of this subsection shall not apply to containers for postmix dispenser use, or to retail containers designed solely for use in foreign countries, provided the labeling thereof contains mixing instructions adequate to inform the institution or the consumer of the correct dilution ratio.
