Montana Title 80. Agriculture § 80-3-311. Standard grades for produce

(1) Unless a Montana grade standard has been established, the standard grades for produce:

(2) The department may by rule establish state grades for produce grown in Montana when the amount grown reaches a volume rendering it of market importance or when requested by the industry. State produce grades must be established in consultation with representatives of the various components of the produce industry, including growers, sellers, buyers, traders, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers.

(3) The grade “Montana unclassified” must contain at least 50% of produce that would grade U.S. No. 2 or better.

(4) Produce not conforming to established grades may be sold if it is marked in the same manner as graded produce, except that in place of specifying the grade, the word “ungraded” or “unclassified” must be used.
