Currentness
Section 1438 provides that head lettuce shall be free from serious damage caused by “broken midribs” and “bursting.”
Damage to heads of lettuce due to “broken midribs” shall be considered serious when the midribs of more than four of the outer head leaves, which closely enfold the compact portion of the head, are broken in two; i.e., broken and severed all the way across the midrib. Damage to heads of lettuce due to “bursting” shall be considered serious when the head is cracked or split open and any part of the inner portion of the head is exposed.
