Abstract

This Uganda Standard provides guidelines for the labelling of consignments of fresh fruit and vegetables to which common standards apply in accordance with the provisions of those standards in connection with "labelling". NOTE The application of these guidelines does not exempt exporting companies from complying with the specific laws and regulations relating to the descriptive labelling of produce in force in importing countries. The packer and/or dispatcher are responsible for marking in the exporting country. These guidelines do not apply to the labelling of pre-packaged units for direct sale to the consumer. (This second edition will cancel and replace the first edition, US 569:2005, Fresh fruits and vegetables - Guidelines for labelling, which has been technically revised, upon publication of a legal Notice). This standard was published on 24 May 2023.
