Regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture Governing the Grad- 

 ing and Certification of Canned Fruits and Vegetables, approved 

 March 23, 1932, were superseded by Service and Regulatory An- 

 nouncement No. 155, effective August 29, 1939 (4 F.R. 3744). 



S.R.A. No. 155 was revised effective September 16, 1948, and 

 published as Revised Regulations - Processed Fruits and Vege- 

 tables, Processed Products thereof, and Certain Other Processed 

 Food Products (13 F.R. 5300); revised and re-published effective 

 July 23, 1951 (16 F.R. 7127); re-codified December 9, 1953 (18 

 F.R. 7904); and amended and reprinted as AMS-65, Regulations 

 Governing Inspection and Certification of Processed Fruits and 

 Vegetables and Related Products, effective July 18, 1955. 



The present revised issue of AMS-65, effective February 21, 1956, 

 includes amendments effective August 26, 1955 (20 F.R. 6244) and 

 February 21, 1956 (21 F.R. 145). 



These regulations set forth the rules that govern inspection and 

 certification of processed products including sampling, fees, 

 sanitary requirements for plants operating under continuous in- 

 spection and other related matters. 



Inspection provides a means for determining compliance with 

 standards and specifications, serves as a basis for quality con- 

 trol programs, for determining loan values and for sales trans- 

 actions. It also aids in orderly marketing in many other 

 respects.
