# 959.126 Handling of culls.

(a) The handling of culls, i.e., onions which fail to meet the grade, size and quality requirements established under § 959.52(b) of this part, is prohibited, unless such onions are:

(1) Mechanically mutilated at the packing shed rendering them unsuitable for fresh market;

(2) Handled for special purpose outlets approved under § 959.53 of this part; or

(3) Handled for canning or freezing.

(b) As a safeguard against culls entering fresh market channels each handler of culls under paragraphs (a) (2) or (3) of this section shall apply for and obtain a certificate from the committee which shall require the handler to furnish such reports or other information as the committee may request.
