Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The maturity of juice grapes shall be determined by
						testing the juice from a composite sample of grapes selected as prescribed by
						this section.
The following procedure shall be used to determine
						whether juice grapes are in compliance with the maturity standards of this
						article:
(a) Sampling method. There
					 shall be selected at random from the lot the number of sample containers
					 specified in the following table:
Lot Size
Sample Size
100 containers or less..........................
3
101 to 300..........................
5
301 to 500..........................
6
501 to 700..........................
7
For lots of over 700 containers, an additional sample
						container shall be selected for each additional 200 containers or fraction
						thereof.
(b) Select at
					 random not less than 10 percent of the grapes, by weight, from each of the
					 containers. Combine the samples and make one composite test from the total
					 juice extracted.
(c) A second
					 official sample may be taken and tested for maturity after the immature grapes
					 from the containers failing the previous test have been removed.
(d) Titration shall not be used to test the
					 maturity of juice grapes.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) All
					 grapes in the sample shall be completely crushed without unnecessary crushing
					 of the stems. The juice shall be poured through a sieve or metal screen
					 strainer that will permit the juice to escape rapidly and at the same time not
					 permit, under pressure, any pulp or solids to go through. In no case shall the
					 screen or sieve be less than eight mesh per lineal inch.
(b) When making a soluble solids test, a
					 temperature compensated hand refractometer shall be used, the juice shall be
					 thoroughly mixed, and a small sample of the juice shall be placed upon the
					 prism and read immediately to avoid evaporation. When the hand refractometer is
					 used as a dipping instrument, the juice shall be thoroughly mixed and the
					 refractometer shall be immersed to a depth that will ensure complete coverage
					 of the prism for a period of two to three minutes for temperature equilibrium
					 prior to reading.
(c) Prior to each
					 grape season, hand refractometers shall be checked for optical accuracy by
					 using a standard solution. If the instrument is not accurate, it shall not be
					 used in any official testing procedure.
(d) When a test has been completed, the juice
					 shall be drained or dried from all equipment before the juice from a subsequent
					 test is used. The refractometer shall be washed and dried after each
					 use.

					 percentage scale with divisions not more than 0.2 degrees, have a sharp
					 demarcation line (shadow), be without interference by color or an indistinct
					 line, and be sealed with acid proof material on the face where the juice is
					 placed.
(b) Any equipment used
					 shall be made of materials that will not affect, or be affected by, the grape
					 stems or grape juice being tested.

Section

						inside of the six outer head leaves."
In determining when the heads inside of the six outer
						head leaves are affected, "blistering" of the epidermis of the leaf does not in
						itself constitute sufficiently serious damage to be considered serious under
						this definition. However, if the tissues in the leaf under this epidermis are
						brittle or soft or pithy or discolored to any extent, due to freezing injury,
						the leaf has been affected.
It should be noted here that one of the indications of
						such damage in the tissues which is serious will cause the leaf, when peeled
						off the head, to break into small particles.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
When the California Administrative Code provides for the
						use of standard containers, but fails to provide for the use of cleats, a
						container is not considered standard when cleats underneath the lid are used,
						which in effect increase the depth of the container.
Reference is made to State Attorney General's opinion No.
						10273 dated October 16, 1935: "The object of the legislation prescribing
						standard sizes of crates is to insure uniformity of capacity, in order to
						prevent fraud and deception. If a packer should be allowed to increase the size
						of his crate by 10 percent, this uniformity would no longer exist and the
						purpose of the law would be frustrated."

						45A, if they are fastened in a closed position, the opening between the outer
						side flaps shall not average more than two inches for the entire length of the

						of Regulations, provides that heads of lettuce "of the 2 1/2 dozen size when

						placed in such containers as a bridge pack, with 12 heads in the lower layer
						and 12 heads in the upper layer with six heads of the same size between such
						layers. "Two and one-half dozen size" in the bridge pack described in this
						section, means heads of lettuce of uniform size which are (1) larger than heads
						of lettuce that can be packed flat with 15 heads to a layer (3 x 5) in standard
						container numbers 45A, 45B, or 45F and (2) smaller than heads of lettuce that
						can be packed with two dozen heads in two layers of 12 heads in each layer (3 x

						defined in this section the heads shall be fairly tightly packed but not so
						tight that the lettuce is damaged or injured in such packing.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Slight bulge shall mean that when lettuce is placed in
						container numbers 45B or 45C:
(1) The
					 gap between the top or bottom side flaps when stapled or glued in a closed
					 position does not exceed one-half inch at any point in addition to the normal
					 gap between the side flaps of an empty container when in a closed
					 position.
(2) The top and bottom
					 side and end flaps on container number 45B shall be 7 3/4 inches wide as
					 measured from the score line to the edge of the flap when in a closed position.
Standard container number 45C shall be standard for
						lettuce and may have a slight bulge when the lettuce is first placed or packed
						in it as provided in this section, except that each side flap shall not exceed
						7 1/8 inches.
(3) When a
					 closing device is used to properly close these containers, it shall only be
					 used as a means to assist in closing the carton and is not to be used to apply
					 pressure to the extent that any excessive bulge would be eliminated.
(4) The nonbulge lettuce containers numbers
					 45B and 45C may have a slight bulge, when the lettuce is first placed or packed
					 in them, on each side, each end, the top, and the bottom. Inspections to
					 determine the requirements of the slight bulge, when possible, shall be made at
					 the time the lettuce is in the field. However, in cases where this is not
					 practical or possible, inspections may be made at the cooler, prior to cooling
					 and loading for final shipment.

					 regular arrangement of two uniform flat layers in standard container numbers
					 45A, 45B, 45C, or 45F. If, however, 2 1/2 dozen heads of lettuce of the 2 1/2
					 dozen size when fairly tightly packed in standard container numbers 45A, 45B,
