Food Institute Report, The, September, 2002
CHANGES TO STANDARDS FOR SOME FRUITS: USDA has proposed revising the U.S. standards for grades of peaches, fresh plums and prunes and nectarines to make the standards more consistent and uniform with marketing trends and practices. The proposed rule would: delete the "Unclassified" section; establish a 25-count minimum sample; revise standard pack and size requirements for all three grade standards; develop en route or at destination tolerances for grades of peaches; define damage and serious damage by discoloration and growth cracks for grades of plums and prunes; revise color requirements for grades of nectarines.
