United States Standards for Grades of Almonds in the Shell
Document Number: 2013-05436
Type: Rule
Date: 2013-03-08
Agency: Agricultural Marketing Service, Department of Agriculture
This rule revises the United States Standards for Grades of Almonds in the Shell. These standards are issued under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is revising the standards by changing the determination of internal defects from count to weight. These revisions will align the inspection procedures for incoming inspections (based on the marketing order) and outgoing inspections (based on the standards). These changes will promote greater uniformity and will provide consistency with current marketing practices.
