In the May 9, 2016, Federal Register, USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service ("AMS") proposed to revise the U.S. standards for grades of cauliflower, to allow all colors of cauliflower (including purple, orange, and green) to be certified to a U.S. grade. In addition, AMS proposed to: (i) amend the size requirement to allow curds of less than four inches in diameter to be certified to a grade; (ii) add marking requirements to sizes of less than four inches in diameter; and (iii) remove the unclassified section. Comments are due July 8, 2016.
