The U.S. Department of Agriculture is revising standards for grades of carrots to include more colors of carrots covered by the standards.
The standards for grades of topped carrots, bunched carrots and carrots with short-trimmed tops are included in the changes, according to a news release. The revision adds more U.S. No. 1 grades, with white, purple and yellow carrots to current standards for orange, orange red and orange scarlet.
The Agricultural Marketing Service is also removing an unclassified section, according to the release.
The final notice on the proposed change was issued June 24.
