a (i) and (ii) of this section, preceded by "In" or "Packed in" shall be included as part of the name or in close proximity to the name of the food. The style of the plum ingredient shall be preceded or followed by "Peeled" when the plums are peeled and by "Pitted" in the case of whole pitted plums. "Halves" may be alternatively designated "Halved". When the packing medium is prepared with sweetener(s) which imparts a taste, flavor or other characteristics to the finished food in addition to sweetness, the name of the packing medium shall be accompanied by the name of such sweetener(s), as for example, in the case of a mixture of brown sugar and honey, an appropriate statement would be sirup of brown sugar and honey", the blank to be filled in with the word "light", "heavy", or "extra heavy", as the case may be. When the liquid portion of the packing media provided for in paragraphs (a)(3) (i) and (ii) of this section consists of fruit juice(s), such juice(s) shall be designated in the name of the packing medium as: (a) In the case of a single fruit juice, the name of the juice shall be used in lieu of the word "fruit", (b) In the case of a combination of two or more fruit juices, the names of the juices in the order of predominance by weight shall either be used in lieu of the word "fruit" in the name of the packing medium, or be declared on the label as specified in paragraph (a)(4)(iii) of this section, and (c) In the case of a single fruit juice or a combination of two or more fruit juices any of which are made from concentrate(s), the words "from concentrate(s)" shall follow the word "juice(s)" in the name of the packing medium and in the name(s) of such juice(s) when declared as specified in paragraph (a)(4)(iii) of this section. (iii) Whenever the names of the fruit juices used do not appear in the name of the packing medium as provided in paragraph (a)(4)(ii)(b) of this section, such names and the words "from concentrate", as specified in paragraph (a)(4)(ii)(c) of this section, shall appear in an ingredient statement pursuant to the requirements of § 101.3(d) of this chapter. (iv) Label declaration. Each of the ingredients used in the food shall be declared on the label as required by the applicable sections of parts 101 and 130 of this chapter. (b) Quality. (1) The standard of quality for canned plums is as follows: (i) Blemishes (damaged). After draining in accordance with the procedure set out in § 145.3(n) not more than 30 percent by weight of the drained plums consists of plums which have been blemished or damaged by any of the following factors either singly or in combination: Damaged by insects; appearance or eating quality materially affected by friction, disease, external stone gum or discoloration. (ii) Crushed or broken units in whole and halves styles. In the case of the whole styles, not more than 25 percent by weight of the drained plums are deformed or broken to an extent that the normal shape of the fruit is seriously affected. In the case of the halves style, not more than 25 percent by weight of the drained plums are damaged or torn to such an extent that they are smaller than 50 percent of a plum half. (iii) Blemishes and crushed or broken units. Not more than 35 percent by weight of the drained plums consist of both blemishes as specified in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section and crushed or broken units in the case of the whole and halves styles as specified in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this section. (iv) Extraneous plant material. Not more than one piece of stalk or stem from the plum tree or other harmless extraneous plant material per 200 grams (7 ounces) of drained plums. (v) Loose pits in whole style. Not more than three loose pits per 500 grams (17.6 ounces) of drained plums. (vi) Pits or pieces of pits in whole pitted and halves styles. Not more than two pits or pieces of pits per 500 grams (17.8 ounces) of drained plums. (2) Determine compliance as specified in § 145.3(o) except that a lot shall be deemed to be in compliance for extraneous plant material, loose pits in whole style, and pits or pieces of pits in whole pitted and halves styles based on the average of all sam ples analyzed according to the sampling plans set out in § 145.3(p). (3) If the quality of canned plums 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 plums falls below standard with respect to only one of the factors of quality specified in paragraphs (b)(1) (i) through (vi) 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 plums fail to meet, as follows: (i) "Blemished"; (ii) "Partly crushed or broken"; (iii) "Blemished and partly crushed or broken"; (iv) "Contains extraneous plant material"; (v) "Contains loose pits"; or (vi) "Contains pits" or "Contains pieces of pits". (c) Fill of container. (1) The standard of fill of container for canned plums is: (i) The fill of the plums 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 the plum ingredient as determined by the method prescribed in § 145.3(n) is not less than 50 percent for whole styles and 55 percent for halves styles based on the water capacity of containers as determined in § 130.12(a) of this chap ter. (2) Determine compliance for fill of container as specified in § 145.3(0). (3) If canned plums fall 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. If canned plums fall below the standard of fill of container in respect to drained weight, the words "Low drained weight" shall follow the general statement of substandard fill on the label.
