USDA final rule amends the handling of California raisins
The USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has amended the Marketing Order that regulates the handling of raisins produced from grapes grown in California.
Five amendments were proposed by the Raisin Administrative Committee (RAC) and three by AMS. Seven of the eight proposed amendments were favored by California Raisin Growers in a mail referendum, held Dec. 4-15, 2017.
