California Code, Food and Agricultural Code (Formerly Agricultural Code) - FAC § 42947

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

It is unlawful for any person to pack any mixture of fresh or dried fruits, with or without nuts, glazed fruits, or confections, unless the contents of the lower layers or unexposed portion are of the same kind and quality, and in the same proportion, as to count, volume, and weight, as the contents of the top layer or the exposed portions.

A consumer type package, also known as “gift pack,” need not, however, comply with such requirement if it complies with all of the following requirements:

(a) The package is sold in its unbroken form and is clearly and conspicuously marked “consumer package” or “gift pack”.

(b) The package is clearly and conspicuously marked to indicate the contents of the unexposed portion.

(c) The contents of the lower layers or the unexposed portion are of the same size and quality as the top layer or the exposed portion.
