§ 156-gg. Branding closed packages of potatoes. 1. No person shall

sell, expose for sale, or transport for sale, potatoes in closed

packages which are not branded or marked with the grade of the potatoes

contained therein in conformity with official standards and grades for

potatoes established and promulgated by the commissioner under the

provisions of this article, or, with the official standards of the

United States commonly known as U.S. grades, except that potatoes packed

in consumer packages in retail stores containing fifteen pounds or less

and exposed for sale therein need not be so marked provided they are

exposed for sale immediately adjacent and conform in variety, grade,

size and condition to a bulk display of such potatoes which includes as

a part thereof a display sign conspicuously marked as to the grade of

the potatoes in conformity with the foregoing requirements of this

section. Potatoes in closed packages containing more than sixty pounds

net not graded and classified as to quality in accordance with such

standards and grades, nor branded or marked in conformity therewith,

shall be branded or marked "unclassified".

2. For the purpose of this section, a closed package shall mean any

container the entire contents of which cannot be adequately inspected

without opening it.
