2008 PEACH BULLETIN NO. 2

2008 PEACH BULLETIN NO. 2 CALIFORNIA TREE FRUIT MARKETING BOARD NON INSPECTION STATE PROGRAM OVERVIEW OF CHANGES The following changes shall be in effect for the 2008 marketing season: Most of the requirements for 2008 have been implemented through the state marketing order, as set by the CA Tree Fruit Marketing Program, which is being administered by California Tree Fruit Agreement (CTFA). The federal marketing order regulations only apply to fruit that is marked as CA Well Mat®, and requires mandatory inspection and adherence to quality requirements. Destination Report: All export shipments must be reported. Domestic shipments are now exempt from being reported. Also, handlers with less than 50,000 containers are exempt from reporting requirements. Changes made in 2007 and continuing in 2008: Random Auditing Program: Fruit not inspected must be available to Board staff and approved auditors for the purpose of ensuring that the fruit meets the requirements established by the Board. See Exhibit 10 on page 33, which outlines the Random Auditing Program. Lot Identification Program and Marking: All exposed or outside containers of peaches, and not less than 75% of the total containers on a pallet, except those mailed directly to consumers in consumer packages, shall be plainly marked/stamped, prior to shipment, with a Board assigned lot identification marking or stamp. [Inspected fruit that is later repacked into a different container must be marked based on the appropriate marking for the lot.] See Exhibit #1. [Lots requiring Positive Lot Identification (PLI) may be marked in addition as directed by the Federal State Inspection Service.] Reports: In addition to historical seasonal required reports (shipment, grower and destination) each handler will be required to submit their daily packout to CTFA. The report will need to show the number of packages by commodity, by variety, by container type, by net weight and by maturity/grade, which the entity packed during the preceding day. The report needs to be transmitted to the CTFA office by 9:00 a.m. the following day, except when the following day is a Sunday, and then it will be due at 9:00 a.m. the following Monday morning. The report will also request information as to when the packer will next be packing. See Page 13. SHIPPERS PLEASE NOTE: Only shippers who participate in the voluntary inspection program will be authorized to use the marking “CA WELL MAT®.” Unauthorized use will be considered as a trademark infringement. See the bulletin for the federal program or call CTFA for additional information regarding this issue. i This page left intentionally blank. ii Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program 2008 PEACH BULLETIN NO. 2 CALIFORNIA TREE FRUIT MARKETING BOARD NON INSPECTION STATE PROGRAM California Tree Fruit Agreement P.O. Box 968 Reedley, California 93654 Please Keep this Bulletin for Future Reference Through the continued efforts of growers and shippers serving on your Board, these regulations and guidelines have been developed, establishing California peaches as the standard of quality throughout the world. This bulletin presents the fresh California peach regulations for the 2008 marketing season. The fresh California peach marketing season is March 1 through the last day of February (of the following year). These regulations are now in effect and will continue to apply until revised. Crop estimates will be available after May 1. All varieties of fresh peaches must meet the Food and Agricultural Code of California. (CA Ag. Code) requirements, and marketing order requirements for sizing and specific markings. Inspection is not required but may be taken voluntarily. [The California Well Matured standard and its associated marking (CA Well Mat®) may only be used by those handlers who participate in the federal program requiring mandatory inspection.] Call CTFA for more information on the proper use of the CA Well Mat® marking.

Code) requirements, marketing order sizing standards and specific marking requirements in addition to those required by the CA Ag Code. Fruit, unless inspected, must be available to Board staff and approved auditors for the purpose of ensuring that the fruit meets the appropriate marketing order/CA Ag Code requirements. All varieties packed will be properly reported on the Daily Packout Report (see page 13) and submitted to the Board. Each packer (handler) will be required to submit his daily packout to the marketing order. The report will need to show the number of packages by commodity, by variety, by container type, by net weight and by maturity/grade, which the entity packed during the preceding day. The report needs to be transmitted to the CTFA office by 9:00 a.m. the following day, except when the following day is a Sunday, and then it will be due at 9:00 a.m. the following Monday morning. The report will also request information as to when the packer will next be packing. An inspection certificate may serve in lieu of the Daily Packout Report if the certificate lists all of the varieties by name that were packed by the packer (handler). Containers: Fresh peaches must be packed in packages or containers that meet the regulations of the Food and Agricultural Code of California. (CA Ag. Code). Most new container types require an experimental container permit issued by the state. Contact State Standardization or CTFA for a list of currently approved containers. Size Variation: The variation in diameter between the smallest and largest peach in any individual container shall not exceed 3/8 inch in diameter when measured through the widest portion of the cross section of the fruit: provided, that not more than 5% by count of the peaches in any individual container may fail to meet this requirement. Minimum Sizes: Under the Food and Agricultural Code of California there are no minimum sizes. Tolerances: Not more than 10%, by count, of the peaches in any container or bulk lot may exceed the requirements prescribed by the Food and Agricultural Code of California. (CA Ag. Code). Not more than one-half of this tolerance shall be allowed for any one cause. Individual containers in any lot may contain not more than 1½ times the tolerances specified if the percentage of defects of the entire lot average within the tolerances. Unlike plums, there is no additional tolerance for hail damage. Failed Lots: Any lot which fails to meet the Food and Agricultural Code of California. (CA Ag. Code) requirements and/or marketing order requirements must be brought into compliance. This includes reconditioning the lot so it will meet the tolerances, donating to a legitimate charity or dumping the lot. RANDOM AUDITING PROGRAM Random Auditing Program: Fruit not inspected must be available to Board staff and approved auditors for the purpose of ensuring that the fruit meets the appropriate varietal based requirements. All varieties packed will be properly reported on the Daily Packout Report (see page 13) and 2 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program submitted to the Board. See Exhibit 9 on page 31, which outlines the Random Auditing Program. MATURITY The CA Tree Fruit Marketing Board requires that all shipments meet the Food and Agricultural Code of California (CA Ag. Code) requirements for maturity. This standard is the same as the US Grade Standard for mature, which under the federal marketing order was known as US Mature. Containers meeting this standard may be marked US Mature or with other approved abbreviations, such as “US MAT.” [Only handlers participating in the voluntary inspection program may use the optional marking “CA Well Mat®” when packing fruit that meets the California Well Matured standard, which is a more advanced standard.] VOLUNTARY INSPECTION California fresh peach shipments, wherever marketed, may be inspected by the Federal-State Inspection Service. Those participating in voluntary inspection should commit to in-line inspection for the entire packing season. The term "Inspection Service" is synonymous with "Federal-State Inspection Service" (FSIS) and "Shipping Point Inspection" (SPI). Please make your request for inspection as soon as possible, preferably 24 hours in advance, in order to facilitate efficient scheduling of inspectors. A listing of Inspection Service offices is attached. Handlers participating in the voluntary inspection program will need to establish an account with SPI prior to the start of the season. Most handlers will need to post a bond with SPI. Some exceptions to that may include pre-paying in advance or paying on a daily basis for inspection. The Inspection Service has established a four-hour minimum charge for inspection. 3 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program Exhibit #1 LOT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM All exposed or outside containers, and not less than 75 percent of the total containers on a pallet, or unless specifically exempted, shall be plainly marked or stamped, prior to shipment, with a Board approved lot identification marking or stamp. Containers inspected by the Federal-State Inspection Service and marked with a PLI number and fruit mailed directly to consumers in consumer packages are exempt from this requirement. Pallets of returnable plastic containers shall have the lot stamp number(s) affixed to each pallet with a Board approved pallet tag, in addition to the lot stamp numbers(s) and other required information on cards on the individual containers. [Fruit that is repacked into a different container must be marked based on the appropriate marking for the lot prior to shipment.] The approved lot stamp will consist of the following: “CA” This abbreviation will be stamped on all containers of peaches, nectarines and plums to be shipped commercially. This designation will be a 3 or 4 digit code that will be unique to each handler/packer. The Board will assign this code to each handler. Those with multiple packing facilities or segregated packing areas should distinguish each by the use of a letter, such as A and B. This designation will be a multi digit code that will represent the date the fruit was packed. The handler may use a conventional date code, such as 607 for June 7th, a Julian date code, such as 158 for June 7th, or a Board approved code as established by a handler/packer. “XXXX” “XXXXA” “XXXX” Shown below are samples of approved stamps: “CA 880-607” This marking represents a container of fruit that was packed on June 7 by the handler/packer assigned the code number 880. This marking represents a container of fruit that was packed on June 7 by the handler/packer assigned the code number 845. The handler used a Julian date code. This marking represents a container of fruit that was packed on June 7 by the handler/packer assigned the code number 960. The date code has been established by the handler/packer and approved for use by the Board. In this case “F” being the sixth letter in the alphabet represents the sixth month, June, and “G” being the seventh letter in the alphabet represents the seventh day of the month. “CA 845-158” “CA 960-FG” [Handlers who require Positive Lot Identification (PLI) will need to have their fruit inspected to the appropriate inspection parameters and will mark or stamp the PLI lot stamp on their containers.] **Inspected fruit that is later repacked into a different container must be marked based on the appropriate marking described above for the lot or the lot needs to be submitted for re-inspection if the PLI lot number is to be used. 4 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program Exhibit #2 REQUIRED CONTAINER MARKINGS Nonconsumer Containers Shipper’s Name, Address and Zip Code Commodity Size or Count.

Commodity CONTAINER MARKINGS Every handler shall handle any package or container of any variety of peaches in accordance with the following terms and conditions: Declaration of Identity and Responsibility: A declaration of identity on a consumer and nonconsumer package shall appear on the principal display panel, and shall positively identify the commodity in the package by its common or usual name, description, generic term or the like. Any package kept, offered, or exposed for sale or sold at any place other than on the premises where packed shall specify conspicuously on the label of the package the name and 5 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program address of the packer or distributor. The name shall be the actual corporate name, or, when not incorporated, the name under which the business is conducted. The address shall include street address, city state and zip code; however, the street address may be omitted if this is shown in a current city directory or telephone directory. If a person packs, or distributes a commodity at a place other than his principal place of business, the label may state the principal place of business in lieu of the actual place where the commodity was packed or is to be distributed, unless such statement would be misleading. Where the commodity is not packed or distributed by the person whose name appears on the label, the name shall be qualified by a phrase that reveals the connection such person has with such commodity, such as: “Packed for _______,” “Distributed by __________,” or any other wording of similar import that expresses the facts. Commodity and Variety: Each package or container of peaches shall bear on one outside end, in plain sight and in plain letters, the word "peaches.” Varietal name may be marked on containers at the packer’s discretion. Misrepresentation of varietal name, for purpose of circumvention of varietal requirements, may be a violation of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) regulations. (http://www.ams.usda.gov/fv/paca.htm) Alleged violations may be reported to PACA for investigation. Stickers on fruit which identify the commodity for that fruit shall not be in conflict with the commodity type marked on the container (CA Food and Agricultural Code). Lot Identification and Marking: All exposed or outside containers of peaches, and not less than 75% of the total containers on a pallet, except those mailed directly to consumers in consumer packages, shall be plainly marked/stamped on any principle display panel, prior to shipment, with a Board assigned lot identification stamp. [Fruit that is later repacked into a different container must be marked based on the appropriate marking for the lot.] See Exhibit #1. Lots requiring Positive Lot Identification will be marked in addition as directed by the Federal State Inspection Service. Maturity: Maturity markings are voluntary. [Note: those packers who want to mark “CA Well Mat®” on their containers will be required to take mandatory inspection.] California Well Matured: The maturity marking CA WELL MAT® is a registered trademark of the California Tree Fruit Agreement and is licensed for use only on fresh prunes, plums, peaches, and nectarines produced in California that are certified as meeting the standards for the California Well Matured designation as determined by participation in the mandatory inspection program. The trademark may not be used on peaches that have not been inspected, nor by any other fruits including apricots, pears, table grapes, or tree fruit not produced in California. 6 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program Exhibit #3 2008 WEIGHT-COUNT STANDARDS FOR ALL VARIETIES (Except Peento Types) OF PEACHES IN LOOSE-FILLED CONTAINERS (Maximum number fruit in a 16-pound sample) Comparable Tray-Pack Size Group A, Group C -Thru June 30 Group B, Group C -July 1 and later 96 88 84 80 72 70 64 60 56 54 50 48 44 42 40 36 34 32 30 28 26 96 92 83 77 69 65 58 53 48 46 43 41 37 34 32 29 28 25 23 21 20 96 83 79 73 66 62 56 52 47 46 42 41 37 34 32 29 28 25 23 21 20 * For sizes smaller than 96 size, the maximum number of peaches in a 16-pound sample shall be equal to the number of peaches that would be packed in the corresponding tray pack size.

Master Containers: Each master container of consumer packages shall bear on one outside end, in plain sight and in plain letters, the number of consumer packages inside, the net weight of each package and size description of the contents. Individual Consumer Package: Each individual consumer package (15 pounds net weight or less) not in a master container shall bear the net weight on one outside end, in plain sight and in plain letters. Bulk Bins: Each bulk bin experimental container of loose filled peaches is recommended to contain at least 100 pounds net weight and must bear on one outside panel, in plain sight and plain letters, the actual net weight. (NOTE: Bins currently are not a standard container, and handlers need to have an experimental container permit in order to use a bin for a container.) SIZE/COUNTS Each package or container of peaches shall bear on one outside end, in plain sight and in plain letters, the count or size description of the peaches as applicable, based on the pack style. Tray Pack: Every container of fresh peaches shall be clearly and conspicuously marked with the count description if the peaches are packed in trays or uniform layers or rows. Volume-Fill: Every volume or loose-filled container of fresh peaches shall be clearly and conspicuously marked with a numerical size description as determined by weight-count standards expressed in terms of the maximum number of peaches in 16-pound samples. These standards shall be used to determine size at all comparable tray pack size levels. There is no tolerance for containers not meeting the weight-count requirement. The weight-count standard for each size is shown on Exhibit 3 on page 7 and Exhibit 4 on page 8 for peento peach types. Master Containers: A master container is any container which contains more than one individual package form of the same commodity. A master container shall be considered to be a nonconsumer-type package. When multiple sizes of consumer packages are in the same master container, the size description of the contents shall be by using the term "Minimum size 'x' and larger," whereas "x" is the smallest size contained inside. 10 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program ASSESSMENTS – STATE MARKETING ORDER The 2008 assessment rates have been established by the CA Tree Fruit Marketing Board at a base rate of $.0750 per 2-layer lug/25 pound volume fill package. [The Federal Marketing Order has established an assessment rate of $.06 per 2-layer lug/25 pound volume fill package.] Assessment rates for all other package styles are on a pro-rata weight basis. Handlers who have an inspection component due to non-compliances discovered by the auditing procedure will be billed for those inspection services. CTFA shall, each month, bill peach handlers in accordance with these rates. Billings shall be based on copies of Daily Packout Reports as submitted by handlers/packers. Billings shall be finalized after shipment reports have been filed. Assessment is due on demand. If unpaid after 30 days, a request for payment letter shall be sent to the handler. If unpaid at 45 days, a demand letter shall be sent. At 60 days, unpaid accounts shall be referred to CDFA for collection action. At that time delinquent state marketing order accounts will be subject to a 10% collection penalty and charged interest at 5% per month that the balance is delinquent. The activities funded by CA Tree Fruit Marketing Board assessments include the collection and dissemination of statistical and marketing information, quality standards, random audit program and program administration. The state marketing order program is administered by a contract with California Tree Fruit Agreement. Additional information regarding these activities can be obtained at CTFA's internet home page located at www.eatcaliforniafruit.com (www.caltreefruit.com). 25lb.Volume Fill Container 35lb.Volume Fill Container 29 lb.

The following procedure is recommended to resolve problems: 1. Complaints about the programs or issues, which need resolution, should be brought to the attention of the CTFA President, staff, or the USDA or CDFA representative. If the complaints are brought to a chairman or a board member, they will direct the issue to the CTFA President to start the resolution process. Staff will review and develop background information regarding the problem, and if not resolved by staff to the satisfaction of the party raising the issue, a formalized position paper will be developed and submitted on behalf of the individual raising the issue to the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee will review the position paper and, if necessary, set up a meeting between those raising the issue or complaint with the Executive Committee. Minutes will be taken of the grievance meeting and the chairmen shall make their determination. If the problem is resolved, there will be no further action. If satisfactory resolution is not reached, the complainant may bring the problem to the full board. At a public meeting of the board, the problem will be addressed by the specific committee/board affected, or if necessary, all committees/boards in a joint meeting. Minutes will be taken and the committee shall issue its opinion and decision on resolution of the problem. In the event that a satisfactory resolution is not reached, the complainant may then take the next step: a. For the California Tree Fruit Marketing Board and/or the California Plum Marketing Board, the complainant may address the issue through the Marketing Branch to the Secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, which has established procedures depending on the nature of the problem. In the event satisfactory resolution is not reached, the complainant may bring the issue before the California Superior Courts for resolution. The decision of the court will be binding on all parties. For the Peach and Nectarine Committees, which are the Federal Marketing Orders, the specific procedure to be followed is the formalized procedure under the 15(a) provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act and its administrative remedy provisions. For specific instructions on how to file the appeal, the complainant should bring the issue before USDA's California Marketing Field Office and/or its officer in charge or program specialist. 27 2. 3. 4. b. Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program COMPLIANCE The Tree Fruit Marketing Order regulations apply to all fresh peaches wherever marketed. Handlers should ensure that persons hauling cull fruit for livestock feed or to dump sites have the required county permits. CTFA agents make unannounced visits at packinghouses, orchards, fruit stands and other retail outlets to check for compliance with Marketing Order Regulations. As explained in the attached Marketing Order enforcement policy, controlled buys may be attempted by undercover agents to check for compliance. Copies of the CTFA regulatory notice to retailers and for posting at fruit stands also are attached. Handlers found in violation of Tree Fruit Marketing Order regulations may be subject to fines of up to $5,000 per count. The filing of complaints by the State Attorney General and the disposition of these cases are publicized in the weekly packout, local newspapers and national produce publications. For regulatory information or to report suspected violations, contact California Tree Fruit Agreement. ROADSIDE SALES RULE Peaches may be handled without regard to the assessment, regulatory and reporting provisions of the Tree Fruit Marketing Order under the following conditions: 1. Such peaches meet the minimum grade requirements of the Food and Agricultural Code of California. Such peaches are for home use and not for resale. The shipment does not exceed 200 pounds net weight of peaches to any one vehicle during any one day. Such peaches are handled by the person who produced them, or an employee of the producer, and the handling takes place (a) on the premises where grown, (b) at a packinghouse or retail stand nearby which is operated by said handler, or (c) at a Certified Farmer's Market in compliance with Section 1392 of the regulations of the California Department of Food and Agriculture. Sales of peaches via the Internet or World Wide Web (www) are not exempt under the Roadside Sales Rule and all shipments marketed in such a manner are subject to all marketing order requirements, including reporting and assessment. 2. 3. 4. 5. 28 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program Exhibit #7 CALIFORNIA TREE FRUIT AGREEMENT P.O. Box 968 Reedley, California 93654-0968 (559) 638-8260 ENFORCEMENT POLICY Background. Federal Marketing Orders 917 for fresh California peaches and 916 for fresh California nectarines and the State Marketing Orders for fresh California peaches, nectarines and plums empower the Committees and Boards of the California Tree Fruit Agreement (CTFA) to recommend rules and regulations for handling these commodities. When approved by USDA or CDFA, these rules and regulations have the force and effect of law. These regulations include minimum grade, maturity size standards, container markings, pack requirements and/or voluntary inspection. They have been developed over many years and are reviewed annually to facilitate orderly marketing and provide high quality fruit to consumers. The Committees and/or Boards are authorized to receive, investigate and report complaints of violations of Marketing Order provisions. In such cases, the law expressly provides for criminal enforcement proceedings in Federal or State Courts against persons who violate such orders. Objectives 1. To prevent violations of Marketing Order regulations. 2. To prosecute handlers found to be in noncompliance with these regulations. Violation Prevention. CTFA's primary enforcement objective has always been to prevent violations of Marketing Order regulations. Handler communication and education have been used effectively by CTFA to eliminate unintentional violations. Marketing Order rules and regulations are discussed annually prior to the start of the season at public meetings of the Committees. Specific regulations are announced for each commodity in bulletins or regulatory notifications issued at the beginning of the shipping season. These bulletins and notifications are provided to all known handlers and are distributed by CTFA field agents in Northern, Central and Southern California to growers, fruit stand operators and other interested parties. CTFA also makes a notice available to fruit stands and other sales outlets which can be posted to advise employees and customers of the provisions of the Roadside Sales Rule. The posting of this notice is beneficial to fruit stand operators since they are legally responsible for the actions of their employees. A copy of this notice is attached. Enforcement Procedure. While most tree fruit handlers willingly comply with Marketing Order regulations, past experience has shown that a few knowingly violate them. As a result, it is necessary that measures be taken to detect such violations and to prosecute violators. During their unannounced visits to packinghouses, ranches, fruit stands and other retail outlets, CTFA field agents occasionally observe activities associated with noncompliance. In these cases or when reports of noncompliance are received from reliable sources, an immediate investigation is undertaken. 29 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program If this investigation reveals reason to believe that a handler has not complied with Marketing Order regulations, a purchase that is in violation of the regulations may be attempted by a CTFA agent as a compliance check. Such undercover controlled buy procedures are necessary in Marketing Order violation cases because both buyer and seller have an incentive to keep the transaction secret. This type of governmental investigation is a widely used, accepted method of law enforcement. During such compliance checks, a CTFA agent attempts to buy fruit in an amount greater than the shipment of 200 pounds net weight per commodity, per vehicle per day, permitted by the Roadside Sales Rule. If a buy of more than 200 pounds is accomplished, additional attempts are made at later dates. Complaints of Marketing Order violations are referred for legal action if more than one controlled buy is made. Multiple buys establish a pattern of illegal shipments and eliminate the possibility that one controlled buy was an unintentional isolated incident. Controlled buys are also attempted on a random basis since this is often the only way to detect a careful violator. The objective is to visit all handlers in major producing areas on a random basis over a specific period. Individual handlers are selected randomly from the CTFA handler list. Random selection may be done on an individual handler basis or on a geographic area basis where, in the interests of economy and efficiency, all handlers in a given area are tested during the same period. Legal Procedure. When sufficient evidence has been collected through the controlled buy procedure to prove noncompliance, a complaint is referred by CTFA to the California Field Office, Agricultural Marketing Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture or the Marketing Branch of the California Department of Food and Agriculture. The documentation is reviewed and forwarded to the proper authorities who refer the complaint directly to the appropriate Attorney's Office where legal action can be instituted. When such action is instituted, the handler is notified. Handlers found in violation of Marketing Order regulations are subject to fines and penalties. Most complaints are filed with more than one count. Hence, very sizable fines are now a prospect. Publicity. One of the biggest deterrents to violation is the publicity associated with the legal proceedings in these cases. CTFA, the U.S. Attorney and/or the State Attorney General's Offices issue press releases when the complaint is filed and when the disposition is known. These press releases are sent to the local newspapers in all producing areas as well as national produce publications such as The Packer and The Produce News. In addition, all tree fruit handlers and other organizations receiving the semi-monthly packout report or CTFA newsletter are advised of these legal actions. Industry Support. An enforcement program can only be effective if it is understood and supported by the industry it serves. CTFA urges handlers, growers, inspectors and others associated with the industry to advise it of any suspected violations of Marketing Order regulations.

Box 968 Reedley, California 93654-0968 (559) 638-8260 RETAIL FRUIT STAND/SALES OUTLET NOTICE This fruit stand or sales outlet must comply with the regulations of the Marketing Orders for fresh California peaches, nectarines and plums. Be advised that this notice is for information purposes only and its posting in such an outlet does not necessarily mean that the owner is in compliance with these regulations. 1. The fruit meets the grade requirements of the Food and Agricultural Code of California. 2. The fruit is for home use and not for resale. 3. The sale does not exceed 200 pounds net weight per commodity to any vehicle during any one day. 4. The fruit is sold by the person who produced it or his employee. 5. The sale takes place: a. On the premises where grown; or b. At a packinghouse or retail stand nearby which is operated by the producer; or c. At a Certified Farmers Market. Owners of fruit stands or sales outlets not complying with these regulations will be prosecuted. For information or to report possible violations, contact the California Tree Fruit Agreement at (559) 638-8260 or (800) 636-8260. 31 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program Exhibit #9 CALIFORNIA TREE FRUIT AGREEMENT P.O. Box 968 Reedley, California 93654-0968 (559) 638-8260 NOTICE TO RETAILERS The California Tree Fruit Agreement is the administrator of Marketing Orders which control fresh California peaches, nectarines and plums. The Marketing Orders have the effect of law and are enforceable in the Courts. These fruits must meet certain grade, maturity and/or size requirements prior to being offered for sale. Voluntary inspection may be obtained by the packer or shipper who packs the fruit. Fruit purchased through wholesale channels that was inspected will have a circular stamp or a strip stamp marked on each container and will include the phrase Fed-State Insp. 32 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program Exhibit #10 RANDOM AUDITING PROGRAM The Random Auditing Program (RAP) is a verification program that will be in place to have the Marketing Order randomly audit or “spot check” packing entities. Those entities participating in the voluntary CA Well Mat® inspection program are exempt from this auditing program. RAP has been implemented to prevent and penalize unfair trade practices, and CA Ag Code and marketing order violations. For the purpose of this Marketing Order the practices of false and unauthorized labeling of tree fruit are considered unfair trade practices. This designation of Unfair Trade Practices under this Program is not intended to limit the grower or handler’s ability to develop and use its own labels and trademarks. RAP would consist of random visits to handlers who are not taking CDFA or USDA inspection in order to ensure the handler is in compliance with the requirements regulated by the Marketing Order or the CA Ag Code. A random auditing program by its nature depends on those containers audited to meet the requirements. Program details are discussed below. Verification: All packing entities, except those taking CDFA or USDA inspection, will be subject to random audits to verify the California Tree Fruit Marketing Order’s requirements are being met. These audits may be conducted by an inspection agency approved by CDFA or by inspectors hired by the Board. Initially the Tree Fruit Marketing Order (the Program) has been assigned to implement and carry out this surveillance program. The Board has hired inspectors/auditors who have had previous inspection/quality experience. • • Fruit mislabeled as meeting a definitional grade set by the Board will result in a non-compliance situation. In order to label fruit as “CA Well Mat®” the packer will need to agree to proper use of the certified mark with CTFA. One of the terms for use of the certified mark will be that only fruit meeting the CA Well Mat® definition AND which has been inspected under the approved CA Well Mat® protocol is authorized to be marked as such. Mislabeling fruit as CA Well Mat® or doing so without the appropriate authorization will result in a non-compliance situation. An Inspection Certificate Will Not be Issued: The packers subject to these audits will not receive a traditional inspection certificate for their fruit. A notice from the auditor will be presented to the packer indicating that during the audit the fruit was found to either meet the standards or not meet them. Packers needing certificates for export, or other reasons, will need to arrange for the appropriate inspection with SPI. SPI will bill the necessary fees associated with that type of inspection service directly to the entity. 33 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program Lot Identification: A CTFA lot identification number for food safety trace back purposes will be used to identify all containers packed as to handler and the date packed. This unique number will be required on all containers packed. However, packers who participate in the voluntary inspection program and who have their containers marked with a PLI lot stamp are exempt from the CTFA lot identification number. Standards: All fruit packed must meet the marketing order requirements. Auditors will focus on verifying whether the fruit and the containers have been properly marked/labeled based on the Marketing Order’s definitions for maturity and sizing and on whether the appropriate markings have been applied. Fruit found as not meeting the standards will initiate a non-compliance process. Inspection and Inspection Frequency: • Random auditing can occur at any time. No advance notice will be provided by auditors. Auditors will attempt to visit packers a minimum of once a week; and they will attempt to complete no less than 3 visits during any consecutive 4-week period. Due to packing schedules and geographic locations some handlers may not be audited on the recommended weekly schedule. It is also possible that some handlers may be randomly selected to be visited more than once in a given week. During the season the Program will consistently attempt to make arrangements to conduct periodic unannounced audits of packers that have not been randomly selected, as well as of packers that have been selected but not audited due to scheduling or geographical factors. Handlers who have been involved in a noncompliance situation will be audited more often. The Program will document its efforts to make arrangements to audit packers in the above-described circumstances. Auditors during each audit visit may sample a minimum of one (1) container for each size, variety, and grade for each commodity, regardless of when the fruit was packed. Auditors will use a 40 fruit sample. If the sample size is less than 40 fruit from a container, then fruit from a second container will be included in the sample to bring it up to a 40 fruit sample. Samples from additional containers may be needed to adequately determine if the requirements are being met. Each lot audited must meet the specific requirements for maturity, sizing and markings as established by the Marketing Order. There will be a 5% lot tolerance for maturity. The only tolerances allowable for sizing and markings will be those specified in the Standardization and/or marketing order regulations. Additionally, all containers must meet the requirements. Volume filled sizes will be determined by the marketing order’s two tier sizing weight count system. • • • 34 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program • If the packer has multiple segregated packing areas within his facility compound, each will be audited. At the auditor’s discretion, he/she may sample containers at a packer’s (handler’s) cold storage. The maximum number of containers of a commodity the auditor may sample in order to determine if the commodity is in compliance will be up to the auditor’s discretion. In situations where red-tagged non-compliance fruit is no longer available at a handler’s location or cold storage to be sampled and/or verified in regards to the requirements, the violation may be treated as the shipment of red-tagged fruit, which may result in the immediate requirement to undergo mandatory in-line inspections for the rest of the season at the handler’s expense. • • Procedures: • One non-compliance notice will be issued per visit for the violation(s) found during the audit. Notwithstanding, violations identical to the original violation found on separate lots packed on the same day and found on the same day during a later visit by the auditor may be considered as a separate offense. The shipment of red-tagged fruit may result in the requirement to undergo mandatory in-line inspections at the handler’s expense for the rest of the season, regardless of the number of violations accrued. Each lot out of compliance shall be marked with a red tag (F&A Code 59284) warning that the lot is held and stating the reasons why it is held, unless the lot is immediately reconditioned or brought into compliance. The auditor will issue a notice of non-compliance that includes: a) A description of the lot b) The place where, and the reasons for which the lot is held c) A citation of the regulation, or rule, and any other information upon which the notice of noncompliance is based The owner shall have no more than 48 hours from the time of receiving the notice to recondition or correct the deficiencies which are noted in the notice of non compliance (F&A Code 59287). SPI will bill the handler directly for the costs incurred as a results of an appeal requested in regards to the auditor’s findings. SPI will bill the Program for the cost incurred when requested by the Program to provide oversight to a noncompliance situation. As a service to the industry SPI will attempt to make arrangements for direct payment for those handlers who lose the privilege of participating in the spot35 • • • • • • Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program checking program and are required to take in-line inspections. If SPI is unable to make such arrangements with a handler or to collect, SPI will bill the Program for the cost incurred in providing this service. It will then be the handler’s responsibility to reimburse the Program for these charges. • For first and second violations, if the lot is reconsidered or the deficiencies are corrected the auditor may remove any warning tags holding the lot and release the lot (F&A Code 59287). For third and fourth violations, if the lot is reconsidered or the deficiencies are corrected SPI may remove any warning tags holding the lot and release the lot (F&A Code 59287). SPI will also certify the lot as meeting the requirements. Pursuant to the provisions of F&A Code Section 59289 failure or refusal to recondition will result in a petition to the appropriate court to divert or destroy such lot. SPI involvement in non-compliance situations will initiate a fee certificate from SPI for the amount of time needed to determine the extent of the non-compliance containers and for the time involved to determine if the fruit has been properly reconditioned or brought into compliance. It will be the Program’s responsibility to pay these SPI charges and then to bill for reimbursement from the affected handler. The handler/packer may request, at his/her expense that a supervising inspector from SPI validate the auditor’s results. SPI will bill the handler/packer directly for such services. Boxes that were sampled by the auditor that are appealed to an SPI supervisor will be sealed in their original container(s), with the seals to be broken only by the SPI supervisor. Containers with broken seals will not be reviewed by the SPI supervisor and will result in mandatory reconditioning. In order to determine the extent of the non-compliance and to ensure and verify the lot has been reconditioned to meet the requirements or brought into compliance, additional sampling above the audit program threshold may be required. SPI’s time involved for this situation will be billed to the Program, which in turn will bill the amount to the affected handler. In those cases where the presence of an SPI supervising inspector is requested, SPI will make every effort to have a supervising inspector available at the packing facility within 60 to 120 minutes from the first request for service. If unable to dispatch an inspector within the above-mentioned timeframe SPI will do its best to free the necessary resources as soon as possible. In some instances this may result in services being rendered after regular business hours. • • • • • • 36 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program VIOLATIONS Important: The shipment of red-tagged fruit may result in the requirement to undergo mandatory in-line inspections for the rest of the season, regardless of the number of violations accrued. The first offense will result in: • • The fruit in the non-compliance situation must be brought into compliance under an auditor’s oversight. For the first week (7 days) after the first non-compliance situation occurred the handler will be audited on 3 separate occasions, not to exceed two visits per day. For the second week (7 days) the handler will be audited on 2 separate occasions and will then return to a random audit once a week. An administrative director from the Board’s staff will visit the handler/packer within 3 days of the offense and review the marketing order requirements with the handler/packer as well as answer any questions that the packer may have about said requirements and/or the Random Auditing Program. The staff member will warn the handler/packer that a second violation will result in additional audits and a third violation in the requirement that the lot be brought into compliance and documented by an inspection certificate issued by SPI, at his/her expense. • The second offense will result in: • • The fruit in the non-compliance situation must be brought into compliance under the auditor’s oversight. For the first week (7 days) after the second non-compliance situation occurred the handler will be audited on 4 separate occasions, not to exceed two visits per day, for the second week (7 days) the handler will be audited on 2 separate occasions and will then return to a random audit once a week. An administrative director from the Board’s staff will visit the handler/packer within 3 days of the offense and review the marketing order requirements with the packer as well as answer any questions that the packer may have about said requirements and/or the Random Auditing Program. The staff member will remind the handler/packer that a third violation will result in the requirement that the lot be brought into compliance and documented by an inspection certificate issued by SPI, at his/her expense, as well as the requirement to undergo additional audits. The staff member will also inform him that a fourth violation would result in the requirement to undergo mandatory in-line inspections by SPI for the balance of the season, at the handler’s/packer’s expense. • 37 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program The third offense will result in: • • The fruit in the non-compliance situation must be brought into compliance under SPI oversight, using the procedures described above and at the handler’s expense. For the first two weeks (14 days) after the third non-compliance situation occurred the handler will be audited daily. For the third week (7 days) the handler will be audited on 4 separate occasions, not to exceed two visits per day. For the fourth week (7 days) the handler will be audited 2 times a week, not to exceed two visits per day and will then return to a random audit once a week. The fourth offense will result in: • • The fruit in the non-compliance situation must be brought into compliance under SPI oversight, using the procedures described above and at the handler’s expense. The requirement for the packer/handler to undergo mandatory in-line inspection by SPI for the balance of the season, at the handler’s expense. If unable to dispatch an inspector immediately, SPI will do its best to free the necessary resources as soon as possible. In some instances this may result in services being rendered after regular business hours. Other Details about the Program: • • Handlers that are required to switch to mandatory in-line inspection and who have segregated packing areas within their packing facility will be allowed to have each one treated as separate entities. Packers required to take inspection will need to be prepared to either post a bond, pre-pay in advance or pay on a daily basis for inspection. Reports: In addition to historical seasonal required reports (shipment, grower and destination) each participant will be required to submit his daily packout to the marketing order. The report will need to show the number of packages by variety, by container type, by net weight and by grade, which the entity packed during the preceding day. The report needs to be transmitted to the CTFA office by 9:00 a.m. the following day, except when the following day is a Sunday, and then it will be due at 9:00 a.m. the following Monday morning. The report will also request information as to when the packer will next be packing. 38 Peach 2008 Bulletin Non Inspection State Program Exhibit #11 FEDERAL-STATE INSPECTION SERVICE OFFICE/DIRECTORY Tree Fruit Program Supervisor- California Ed Page 165 E.
