§ 1466.9. Potatoes, Method of Inspection.
In the inspection of a carload of potatoes (300 sacks) of 100-pound sacks, all the potatoes in at least 6 sacks shall be inspected. In the case of smaller sized sacks, a proportionate number of sacks shall be selected for inspection (that is, 50-pound sacks, 12 sacks inspected).
If internal defects not discernible from external examination are present, cut at least 20 pounds of potatoes, taken at random, from each of the sacks. If the 20 pounds so examined reveal less than the tolerance permitted, this should be sufficient to consider the lot passable. However, if a percentage found in this 20-pound sample exceeds the tolerance permitted, an additional 30 pounds shall be taken at random and cut in a like manner. The total taken shall not exceed 50 pounds of a 100-pound sack. Proportionate amounts shall be used in the case of smaller sacks.
