When it is evident that artificial coloring material has been applied to fruits or vegetables (making them appear to be better than they actually are, or results in partially or completely hiding a defective condition), such application constitutes a misrepresentation and is in violation of the provisions of Sections 42943 and 42944 of the Food and Agricultural Code; provided, however, oranges, grown outside of California, shall be deemed not to be false, deceptive or misleading in violation of Sections 42943 and 42944 of the Food and Agricultural Code if color has been added to the skin thereof, provided 55 percent of the oranges in such lot bear the statement “color added” in legible print.
