USDA’s Agricultural Mar- kefmg Service, which ad- ■Binisters the perishable Agri cultural Commodities Act, says awed potatoes par ked in bags labeled "U.S. No. 1“ and failing to meet the higher re- quirements of the U.S. grade standards for table-stock po- tatoes, will tie considered as mislabeled under the Federal law. Simply attaching tags to show the potatoes are of seed grade will not correct this. The ne» grad» standards for seed potatoes went into effect in April. AMS points out that the grad»' was mtend»-d for seed potatoes, not those for table use. The seed potatoes packed uiid» t this grad» should b»- in bag» labeled, “U.S. No 1 Seed" or ‘U.S. No. 1 Seed F’otatoes," or be unmarked as to grade. Under the new grade standard, seed potatoes can have more of certain defects than table potatoes. Inthepast, most seed potatoes were ship ped under State seed grades that required the potatoes to meet U.S. No. 1 table require ments. These seed potatoes were generally shipped in bags marked U.S. No. 1, with State certified tags attached. If di verted from seed to table use, the potatoes would meet U.S. No. 1 quality standards for table potatoes. Most seed tags now in use contain the marking. IS.
