§ 156-dd. Controlled atmosphere. No person shall sell or exchange or

offer or expose for sale or exchange or transport for sale any fruits or

vegetables represented as having been exposed to "controlled

atmosphere," "modified atmosphere," alone or with other words, or shall

so use any such term or form of words or symbols of similar import on

any container or lot of fruits or vegetables advertised, sold, offered

for sale or transported for sale within this state unless such fruits or

vegetables have been kept in a room or storage building with not more

than five percent oxygen for a minimum of ninety days; provided,

however, that a person may represent as having been exposed to

controlled atmosphere or modified atmosphere any variety of apple stored
