COMMODITIES SUBJECT UNDER THE

PERISHABLE AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES ACT (PACA) The PACA covers fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables. The legal authority for determining what is covered under PACA can be found in the statute at 7 U.S.C. 499a(4) and in the PACA Requirements at 7 C.F.R. 46.2(u). The following list is being provided in response to numerous requests from our customers for information about what types of items are covered by the PACA. The commodities listed below are covered when they are fresh or frozen (not dry, canned, or cooked). Please note that it is likely that there are additional items not included on this list that are nevertheless covered by the PACA. Given the international scope of today's produce industry there are undoubtedly some items that have inadvertently been left off this list, but that omission should not be interpreted to mean that the item is not covered. If you have a question about an item not on this list, please call the PACA Division at 800-495-7222, Option 2.
