Sec. 993.5  Prunes.

    Prunes means and includes all sun-dried or artificially dehydrated 
plums, of any type or variety, produced from plums grown in the area, 
except: (a) Sulfur-bleached prunes which are produced from yellow 
varieties of plums and are commonly known as silver prunes; and (b) 
plums which have not been dried or dehydrated to a point where they are 
capable of being stored prior to packaging, without material 
deterioration or spoilage unless refrigeration or other artificial means 
of preservation are used, and so long as they are treated by a process 
which is in conformity with, or generally similar to, the processes for 
treatment of plums of that type which have been developed or recommended 
by the Food Technology Division, College of Agriculture, University of 
California, for the specialty pack known as ``high moisture content 
prunes,'' but this exception shall not apply if and when such plums are 
dried to the point where they are capable of being stored without 
material deterioration or spoilage, refrigeration or other artificial 
means of preservation.
