5.4.1 Examination for composition of mix (types I, II, and III). Examination shall be performed to determine conformance with Table III. The sample for examination shall be a composite of not less than 80 ounces (2.3 kg) of product. The following chart is to be used as a guide for determining the minimum number of sample units to use for deriving the composite for examination:

14/ The composite for examination must consist of a minimum of 80 oz (2.3 kg) of product. For mixed nuts in containers smaller than 4 oz (113 g), it will be necessary for some sample units to consist of more than one container.
For mixed nuts in containers less than or equal to 16 oz (454 g), the entire contents of each sample unit shall be used to form the composite sample.
For mixed nuts in containers larger than 16 oz (454 g), a composite of 80 oz (2.3 kg) of nuts from the five samples shall be formed as follows:
1. Empty contents of all the sample units into a deep pan or other container which will allow free manipulation of product.
2. Mix nuts thoroughly.
3. Extract 80 oz (2.3 kg).
Utilize all nuts in the composite sample, including identifiable (as to kind) broken pieces. Calculate percentage of each kind of nut based on total weight of nuts in the composite sample.
5.5 Sampling. All Types (I - IX) finished shelled roasted nuts shall be sampled for aflatoxin testing in accordance with PPB, FV, AMS, USDA procedures.
