thirds of the flesh of the tomato has good red color, 
provided that a tomato having flesh of a lighter 
shade of red shall be considered as “fairly well 
colored” if enough additional area of the flesh has 
a shade of red color so that the tomato has a Sufficient 
amount of red to be equivalent in color to that of a 
tomato which has two thirds good red color.

be considered as damage. 
(2) Sunburn or sunscald which cannot be removed 
in the ordinary process of trimming without a loss of 
more than 10 percent, by weight, of the tomato in 
excess of that which would occur if the tomato were 
perfect. 
(3) Tomatoes which show an appreciable amount of 
shriveling.

sour, or decay or disease, such as anthracnose spots, 
blossom-end rot, soil rot, or any other decay or disease 
which cannot be removed in the ordinary process of

weight, of the tomato in excess of that which would 
occur if the tomato were perfect. 
(2) Sunburn or sunscald which cannot be removed 
in the ordinary process of trimming without a loss of
