# 989.24 Standard raisins, off-grade raisins, other failing raisins, and raisin residual material.

(a) *Standard raisins* means raisins which meet the then effective minimum grade and condition standards for natural condition raisins.

(b) *Off-grade raisins* means raisins which do not meet the then effective minimum grade and condition standards for natural condition raisins: *Provided,* That raisins which are certified as off-grade raisins shall continue to be such until successfully reconditioned or become “other failing raisins.”

(c) *Other failing raisins* means any raisins received or acquired by a handler, either as standard raisins or off-grade raisins, which are processed to a point where they qualify as packed raisins but fail to meet the applicable minimum grade standards for packed raisins.

(d) *Raisin residual material* means defective raisins, stemmer waste, sweepings, and other residue accumulated by a handler from reconditioning raisins or from processing standard raisins and other failing raisins.
