The sizes of Raisins with Seeds—except for Layer or Cluster Raisins with Seeds, are not incorporated in the grades of the finished product since size, as such, is not a factor of quality for the purposes of these grades. The common size designations and measurement requirements applicable thereto include, but are not limited to, the following:

(a) Seeded.

(1) Select size raisins means that not more than 70 percent, by weight, of the raisins will pass through round perforations 3464 -inch in diameter; and not more than 5 percent, by weight, of the raisins will pass through round perforations 2264 -inch in diameter.

(2) Small size raisins means that all of the raisins will pass through round perforations 3464 -inch in diameter and not less than 90 percent, by weight, of all the raisins will pass through round perforations 2264 -inch in diameter.

(3) Mixed size raisins means a mixture does not meet either the requirements for “select” size or for “small” size.

(b) Unseeded.

(1) 4 Crown means raisins that will not pass through round perforations 4264 -inch in diameter.

(2) 3 Crown means raisins that will pass through round perforations 4264 -inch in diameter but will not pass through round perforations 3464 -inch in diameter.
