　　（a� Identity ���?� Product identification. Canned grapefruit is the food prepared from one of the optional grapefruit ingredients specified in paragraph （a）（2� of this section and one of the optional packing media specified in paragraph （a）（3� of this section. Such food may also contain one or more of the following safe and suitable optional ingredients:

　　（i� Spices.

　　（ii� Natural and artificial flavoring.

　　（iii� Lemon juice.

　　（iv� Citric acid.

　　（v� Calcium chloride or calcium lactate or a mixture of the two calcium salts in a quantity reasonably necessary to firm the grapefruit sections, but in no case in a quantity such that the calcium contained in such calcium salt or mixture is more than 0.035 percent by weight of the finished food.

　　Such food is sealed in a container and, before or after sealing, is so processed by heat as to prevent spoilage.

　　�?� Optional grapefruit ingredient. The optional grapefruit ingredients referred to in paragraph （a）（1� of this section are prepared from sound, mature grapefruit � Citrus paradisi Macfadyen� of the color types white��produced from white-fleshed grapefruit, and pink��produced from pink or red-fleshed grapefruit and are in the following forms of units: Whole sections or broken sections. Each such form of units or a mixture of such forms of units prepared from a single varietal group （color type� is an optional grapefruit ingredient. The core, seeds, and major portions of membrane of such ingredient are removed. For the purpose of this section, a grapefruit section is considered whole when the unit is intact or an intact portion of such unit is not less than 75 percent of its apparent original size and is not excessively trimmed.

　　（i� For the purpose of paragraph （a）（4� of this section, the name of the optional grapefruit ingredient is:

　　� a � ��Section�� or ��segments��� if 50 percent or more of the drained weight of the food consists of whole sections.

　　� b � ��Broken sections�� or ��broken segments��� if less than 50 percent of the drained weight of the food consists of whole sections.

　　（ii� The drained weight is determined by the method prescribed in the standard of fill of container for canned grapefruit set forth in paragraph （c）（2� of this section.

　　�?� Packing media. （i� The optional packing media referred to in paragraph （a）（1� of this section are:

　　� a � Water.

　　�?� Sampling and acceptance procedure. A lot is to be considered acceptable when the number of ��defectives�� does not exceed the acceptance number in the sampling plans given in paragraph （b）（2）（ii� of this section.

　　（i� Definitions of terms to be used in the sampling plans in paragraph （b）（2）（ii� of this section are as follows:

　　� a � Lot. A collection of primary containers or units of the same size, type and style manufactured or packed under similar conditions and handled as a single unit of trade.

　　� b � Lot size. The number of primary containers or units in the lot.

　　� c � Sample size � n �? The total number of sample units drawn for examination from a lot.

　　� d � Sample unit. A container, the entire contents of a container, a portion of the contents of a container, or a composite mixture of product from small containers that is sufficient for the examination or testing as a single unit.

　　� e � Defective. Any sample unit shall be regarded as defective when any of the defects or conditions specified in the quality standard （paragraph （b）（1� of this section� and paragraph （c）（3）（i� of this section for minimum fill of container are present in excess of the stated tolerances.

　　� f � Accepted number � c �? The maximum number of defective sample units permitted in the sample in order to consider the lot as meeting the specified requirements.

　　� g � Acceptable quality level � AQL �? The maximum percent of defective sample units permitted in a lot that will be accepted approximately 95 percent of the time.

　　（ii� Sampling plans and acceptance procedure:

　　1 n =number of primary containers in sample

　　2 c =acceptance number

　　�?� If the quality of canned grapefruit falls below the standard prescribed in paragraph （b）（1� of this section, the label shall bear the general statement of substandard quality specified in ��130.14（a� of this chapter, in the manner and form therein specified; however, if the quality of the canned grapefruit falls below standard with respect to only one of the factors of quality specified by paragraph （b）（1� （i�? （ii�? or （iii� of this section, there may be substituted for the second line of such general statement of substandard quality, ��Good Food��Not High Grade��� a new line as specified after the corresponding designation of paragraph （b）（1� of this section which the canned grapefruit fail to meet:

　　（i� ��Contains extraneous material��、�/p>

　　（ii）（ a � ��Excessive tough membrane��、�/p>

　　� b � ��Excessive seeds��、�/p>

　　（iii� ��Excessive blemished units��、�/p>

　　（c� Fill of container. �?� The standard of fill of container for canned grapefruit is:

　　（i� The fill of grapefruit and packing medium, as determined by the general method for fill of container prescribed in ��130.12（b� of this chapter, is not less than 90 percent of the total capacity of the container.

　　（ii� The drained weight of grapefruit ingredient is not less than 50 percent of the water capacity of the container, as determined by the method prescribed in paragraph （c）（2� of this section and the general method for water capacity of containers prescribed in ��130.12（a� of this chapter.

　　�?� Drained weight is determined by the following method: Tilt the opened container so as to distribute the contents evenly over the meshes of a circular sieve which has previously been weighed. The diameter of the sieve is 20.3 centimeters �? inches� if the quantity of contents of the container is less than 1.4 kilograms �? pounds� and 30.5 centimeters �?2 inches� if such quantity is 1.4 kilograms �? pounds�?nbsp;or more. The bottom of the sieve is woven-wire cloth that complies with the specifications for the No. 8 sieve set forth in the ��Definitions of Terms and Explanatory Notes�� of the AOAC, 13th Ed. �?980�? Table 1, which is incorporated by reference. The availability of this incorporation by reference is given in paragraph （a）（3）（iii� of this section. Without shifting the material on the sieve, incline the sieve at an angle of 17�� to 20�� to facilitate drainage. Two minutes after the drainage begins, weigh the sieve and drained grapefruit. The weight so found, less the weight of the sieve, shall be considered to be the weight of the drained grapefruit.

　　�?）（i� A container that falls below the requirement for minimum fill prescribed in paragraph （c）（1）（i� of this section shall be considered a ��defective��� The food will be deemed to fall below the standard of fill when the number of defectives exceeds the acceptance number （c� in the sampling plans prescribed in paragraph （b）（2� of this section.

　　（ii� Canned grapefruit will be deemed to fall below the standard of fill when the average drained weight of all containers analyzed when sampled according to the sampling plans prescribed in paragraph （b）（2� of this section is less than that prescribed in paragraph （c）（1）（ii� of this section.

　　�?� If canned grapefruit falls below the standard of fill of container prescribed in paragraph （c）（1� of this section, the label shall bear the statement of substandard fill specified in ��130.14（b� of this chapter, in the manner and form therein specified.
