Information
has gloss	eng: Commission Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 of 16 September 1994 laying down quality standards for bananas is a European Union regulation specifying minimum standards for bananas, which took effect on 1 January 1995. The main provisions of the regulation are that bananas sold as unripened, green bananas should be green and unripened, firm and intact, fit for human consumption, not rotten, clean, free of pests and damage from pests, free from deformation or abnormal curvature, free from bruising, free of any foreign smell or taste. The minimum size (with tolerances and exceptions) is a length of 14 cm and a thickness (grade) of 2.7 cm. It specifies minimum standards for specific quality classifications of bananas (Extra, Class I, Class II). This is not true, however, of the size specifications; sale of bananas below the minimum size is permitted only for bananas from certain countries where bananas are traditionally smaller, and they must be classified as Class II.
