Fresh Fruit Labeling Manual

Gift or Bulk Fruit

Gift packs shipped directly to consumers are considered to be retail containers. The labeling requirements are the same as for retail packs of produce described above and are not required to have post harvest pesticide information.

Bulk shipping containers, such as 42 lb. or 21 lb. cartons, are considered retail packs if they are sold by the carton at retail. All the labeling requirements described for retail packs of produce must then be met. When such a bulk container has a principal display panel of more than 400 square inches, the minimum type of size for the net weight must be at least 1/2" in height.
