§ 1400.24. Apples, Healed Stings.
Insect stings are generally considered “well healed” when an encircling discolored ring is present. Well healed stings may have an opening through the brownish seal that covers the wound.
Apples with questionable stings may be cut to determine the extent and nature of damage. If it is found that affected tissues are corky and show no decay, the sting shall be considered well healed. However, if affected tissues beneath the sting show soft breakdown or decay, then the sting shall be considered unhealed.
Very recent stings which do not show a ring or corky tissue are not considered well healed. They should be scored against grade. Also, all healed or unhealed stings over ⅛ inch in diameter should be scored against grade.
