N.Y. Agriculture & Markets Law § 160-r: Sale of lettuce

§ 160-r. Sale of lettuce. 1. No person shall sell, expose for sale or

transport for sale within this state, regardless of place of origin,

lettuce in closed packages which are not branded as required by section

160-q, except that lettuce packaged by a retailer and sold or offered

for sale by such retailer, need only be branded to show that it is cull

lettuce, if such is the case.

2. Cull lettuce offered or exposed for sale at retail shall be plainly

and conspicuously marked as "culls".

3. No person shall sell, offer for sale, or transport for sale lettuce

in open or closed packages, or unwrapped lettuce, if the branding,

representation as to grade, or any statement, design or device appearing

on the label, package or bulk display shall be false or misleading in

any particular.

4. When lettuce in closed packages is delivered to a common carrier

for shipment, such delivery shall be presumptive evidence that the

lettuce is intended for sale.

5. No lettuce shall be sold in closed cardboard containers unless it

is vacuum cooled.
