In 1972, the California avocado industry sponsored legislation that created the Avocado Inspection Program to protect the industry and consumers by providing uniform inspections. Avocados are inspected for maturity; defects; size, count and weight; standard container and pack; and container markings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspectors have performed more than 9,000 size count tests to date of the approximately 369 million pounds of California avocados estimated in this year’s crop forecast. This season has been unique for inspectors, adhering to stringent state safety rules and guidelines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, inspection staff members are proud to be considered essential workers while maintaining professionalism in helping keep the food supply flowing during these difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
