The sizes of Raisins with Seeds—except for Layer or Cluster Raisins with Seeds, are not incorporated in the grades of the finished product since size, as such, is not a factor of quality for the purposes of these grades. The common size designations and measurement requirements applicable thereto include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) Seeded. (1) Select size raisins means that not more than 70 percent, by weight, of the raisins will pass through round perforations
(2) Small size raisins means that all of the raisins will pass through round perforations
(3) Mixed size raisins means a mixture does not meet either the requirements for “select” size or for “small” size.
(b) Unseeded. (1) 4 Crown means raisins that will not pass through round perforations
(2) 3 Crown means raisins that will pass through round perforations
(3) 2 Crown means raisins that will pass through round perforations
