in Column A of the table below, shall meet the weight requirements specified for that size
designation shown in the table.The apricots shall be uniform in size and not more than 5
percent, by count, of the apricots in each container may vary more than 1/4 inch in
diameter when measured through the widest portion of the cross section, except sizes 4 and
18 need not meet the size variation requirement.
Compliance of a lot with the requirements of this section shall be determined as
follows: If the lot consists of three or more containers, select at random three of the
containers and from each container select at random 40 apricots. The combined weight for
the size designation shall equal or exceed the weight designated in Column D (below) for
that size.
For lots of less than three containers, select 120 apricots at random from the
containers and apply the method above.
If the apricots in the combined sample fail to meet the weight specified in Column D,
the entire lot shall be considered mislabeled within the meaning of the Food and
Agriculture Code Sections 42514, 42943, and 42944.
