TYPE II-MUSCAT RAISINS; SIZES, GRADES § 52.1846 Sizes of Muscat raisins.

The size of Muscat raisins except for Layer (or Cluster) Muscat raisins, are not incorporated in the grades of the finished product since size, as such, is not a factor of quality for the purposes of these grades. The common size designations and measurement requirements applicable thereto include, but are not limited to, the following:

(a) Seeded. (1) "Select" size raisins means that not less than 30 percent, by weight, of all the raisins will not pass through round perforations 3464 inch in diameter; and the balance will pass through round perforations 3464 inch in diameter but not more than 5 percent, by weight, of all the raisins may pass through round perforations 2%4 inch in diameter.

(2) "Small" (or "midget") size raisins means that all of the raisins will på s through round perforations 3464 inch in diameter and not less than 90 percent, by weight, of all the raisins will pass through round perforations 2264 inch in diameter.

(3) "Mixed" size raisins means a mixture of sizes that do not meet the requirements of "select" size.

(b) Unseeded. (1) "4 Crown" means raisins that will not pass through round perforations 464 inch in diameter.

(2) "3 Crown" means raisins that will pass through round perforations 4264 inch in diameter but will not pass through round perforations 3464 inch in diameter.

(3) "2 Crown" means raisins that will pass through round perforations 3464 inch in diameter but will not pass through round perforations 2464 inch in diameter (4) "1 Crown" means raisins that will pass through round perforations 2464 inch in diameter.

§ 52.1846a Sizes of Layer (or Cluster) Muscat raisins.

The size of Layer (or Cluster) Muscat raisins is incorporated in the grades of the finished product. The size designation and measurement as applicable to Layer (or Cluster) Muscat Raisins are:

(a) "3 Crown size or larger”. “3 Crown size or larger" in Layer (or Cluster) Muscat raisins means that the raisins, exclusive of stems and branches, are of such a size that they will not pass through round perforations 3464 inch in diameter.
