OAR 603-051-0225: Official Standards

The United States Standards For Grades of Sweet Cherries adopted by the United States Department of Agriculture (36 F. R. 8502) effective May 7, 1971, are hereby adopted as the official standards for sweet cherries within the State of Oregon, save and except that specifically set forth hereafter. A copy of such federal standards is filed herewith and by this reference made a part hereof. The exception to such federal standards is in reference to Section 51.2648(b)(1) of such federal standards, so that the Oregon standard for the grade “Oregon No. 1” would provide for 24 percent for cherries in any lot rather than the 12 percent provided in said federal standard.
