New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 1 - DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND MARKETS › Chapter IV - Markets › Subchapter C - Apples and Lettuce › Part 185 - Standards For Grades Of Apples › Section 185.2 - Color requirements

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
In addition to the requirement specified for the above
					 grades, apples of these grades shall have the percentage of color specified for
					 the variety in Table I appearing in this section. For the solid red varieties
					 the percentage stated refers to the area of the surface which must be covered
					 with a good shade of solid red characteristic of the variety: provided, that an
					 apple having color of a lighter shade of solid red or striped red than that
					 considered as a good shade of red characteristic of the variety may be admitted
					 to a grade, provided it has sufficient additional area covered so that the
					 apple has as good an appearance as one with the minimum percentage of good red
					 characteristic of the variety required for the grade. For the striped red
					 varieties the percentage stated refers to the area of the surface in which the
					 stripes of a good shade of red characteristic of the variety shall predominate
					 over stripes of lighter red, green, or yellow. However, an apple having color
					 of a lighter shade than that considered as a good shade of red characteristic
					 of the variety may be admitted to a grade, provided it has sufficient
					 additional area covered so that the apple has as good an appearance as one with
					 the minimum percentage of stripes of a good red characteristic of the variety
					 required for the grade. Faded brown stripes shall not be considered as color
					 except in the case of the Gray Baldwin variety.
