United States Standards for Grades of Frozen Field Peas and Frozen Black-Eye Peas

Résumé

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) is revising the United States Standards for Grades of Frozen Field Peas and Frozen Black-Eye Peas. Specifically, USDA is providing for the "individual attributes" procedure for product grading with sample sizes, acceptable quality levels (AQL's), tolerances and acceptance numbers (number of allowable defects) in the grade standards. This revision will also provide a uniform format consistent with other recently revised U.S. grade standards by adopting definitions for terms and replacing textual descriptions with easy-to- read tables and other editorial changes. These changes will improve use of the standards.
