2011 California Code
Food and Agricultural Code
DIVISION 17. FRUIT, NUT, AND VEGETABLE STANDARDS [42501 - 48003]
CHAPTER 1. Definitions
Section 42509


CA Food & Agri Code § 42509 (through 2012 Leg Sess) What's This?

Deceptive pack means any container or subcontainer which has in the outer layer or any exposed surface, fruits, nuts, or vegetables which are in quality, size, condition, or in any other respect so superior to those in the interior of the container or subcontainer or in the unexposed portion as to materially misrepresent the contents. Such pack is deceptive if the outer or exposed surface is composed of products whose size is not an accurate representation of the variation of size of the products in the entire container, even though the fruits, nuts, or vegetables in the container are virtually uniform in size or comply with the specific commodity size variation requirements of this part.

(Enacted by Stats. 1967, Ch. 15.)
