Division 3.6 Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc.

Marchfeld asparagus is marketed in firmly bound bundles, stacked in boxes, or in small packs. The asparagus is sorted by size according to the diameters in the specification. The contents of each package or bundle must be uniform and must include only asparagus of the same origin, product category and colour category. The asparagus may be packaged only in anti-humidity, light-deflecting materials which can be sealed.

A special transport system ensures that daily fresh asparagus is available throughout Austria within 24 hours.
