(a) Compliance with
				the requirements of these standards shall not excuse failure to comply with the
				provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or with applicable State
				laws and regulations.
(b) The grade
				of a lot of a processed product covered by this chapter is determined by the
				procedures set forth in the United States Department of Agriculture Regulations
				Governing Inspection and Certification of Processed Fruits and Vegetables and
				Related Products, May 1983, which is made a part of this chapter.
(c) Methods of analysis to ascertain the
				requirements of this chapter shall be as provided in subsections (d) through
				(g).
(d) The viscosity reading in
				seconds shall be determined by using a viscometer similar to that shown in
				"Figure 1, Capillary CPC Viscometer, 8/24/68" which is located at the end of
				this chapter and made a part of this chapter, which has been calibrated to give
				a flow time of thirteen seconds at twenty-five degrees celsius with distilled
				water. Corrections can be made for other temperatures by using the formula Y
				equals 19.12 minus 0.32T plus 0.003T2, where T is
				temperature in degrees celsius and Y is time of flow in seconds. Procedure for
				measurement of viscosity shall be as follows:
(1) Clamp viscometer in a vertical
				position;
(2) Close tip of
				capillary tube with a finger;
(3)
				Fill reservoir well above the gauge line with well-mixed sample;
(4) Obtain temperature reading in
				celsius;
(5) Allow a small amount
				of sample to flow to fill the capillary tube;
(6) Reclose tip and refill the reservoir to
				near overflowing and level off with a straight-edged spatula; and
(7) Release finger from tip and
				simultaneously with a stop watch, time the free flow of the sample until the
				upper edge of the liquid meniscus reaches the gauge line of the reservoir. The
				flow time, expressed in seconds with temperature correction applied, is the
				viscosity reading of the sample.
