Abstract

These Regulations amend the grading and quality standards for potatoes sold for human consumption within the State but do not apply to new potatoes or potatoes for processing or export. The Regulations also amend the information to be provided on packages or at point of sale. Where potatoes are packed in a bag, box, carton, envelope, net, sack, wrapper or other container, they shall not be sold unless at least one container of inner and outer containers bears a notice or inscription which is easily visible without removing or opening any container and states clearly and legibly: (i) the variety of the potatoes and; (ii) the range of potato sizes, and the container or each container is either permeable to moisture or admits air to the next inner container or to the potatoes, as the case may be.
