[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/Canned%20Pumpkin%20and%20Canned%20Squash%20Standard.pdf Seems as if Substandard or “C” grade pumpkin puree is being routinely sold as “A” grade. [/quote] §52.2749 Defects. (a) General. The factor of defects refers to the degree of [b]freedom from sand, grit, or silt[/b], pieces of seed, fiber, and coarse, dark or off-colored particles. (1) Grit, sand, or silt means any particle of earthy material. (b) "A" classification. Canned pumpkin or canned squash that is practically free from defects may be given a score of 25 to 30 points. [b]Practically free from defects means that no grit, sand, or silt may be present that affects the appearance or eating quality of the canned pumpkin[/b] or canned squash, and that the number, size, or color of the aforesaid defects present, individually or collectively, do not more than slightly affect the appearance or eating quality of the product. (c) "C" classification. Canned pumpkin or canned squash that is fairly free from defects may be given a score of 21 to 24 points. [b]Canned pumpkin or canned squash that falls into this classification shall not be graded above U.S. Grade C or U.S. Standard regardless of the total score for the product, (this is a limiting rule).[/b] Fairly free from defects means a trace of grit, sand, or silt may be present that does not materially affect the appearance or eating quality of the canned pumpkin or canned squash, and that any of the other aforesaid defects present, individually or collectively, may be noticeable but are not so large, so numerous, or of such contrasting color as to seriously affect the appearance or eating quality of the product. (d) "SStd" classification. [b]Canned pumpkin or canned squash that fails to meet the requirements of paragraph (c) of this section may be given a score of 0 to 20 points and shall not be graded above Substandard regardless of the total score for the product, (this is a limiting rule).[/b] Time to drop a dime on Libby’s instead of just complaining to/about them.
