Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024

All decay, or soft and wet rots, regardless of the name or type, and without regard to the size of the tuber, shall cause the tuber to be rejected when there has developed a soft or mushy condition in the tissue.

A defect, such as jelly-end, would be considered as decay, only when it causes the flesh to be soft, or mushy, however, when this defect is still glassy and firm, it would have to cause 10 percent waste on the individual potato before being considered serious.
