What UK Agriculture and Horticulture Act 1964 (c.28): Grading and Marking of Produce requires
The Agriculture and Horticulture Act 1964 (c. 28) provides for the grading and marking of agricultural and horticultural produce and for the stability of prices of certain imported products, administered by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Part I, section 1, provides for the price stability of imported products through arrangements affecting imports of relevant agricultural products. Part III governs grading: section 11 confers power to prescribe grades and grade designations for produce, section 12 imposes duties as to the grading of produce, requiring that produce sold by reference to a prescribed grade designation conform to that grade, and section 13 confers powers as to entry of premises and the regrading of produce. Section 14 creates offences in connection with grading, including applying a grade designation to produce that does not conform, and section 15 makes obstruction of an authorised officer an offence. Section 16 provides a penalty for an act or default leading to the commission of an offence by another, section 19 addresses offences by corporations, and section 20 sets the punishment of offences. Section 21 confers power to require the use of prescribed containers and markings. The Act is a foundational produce grading, marking, and quality regime.
