Any regulation shall be adopted, amended, or repealed in conformity with the provisions of Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.

Allows the secretary, by regulation, to set commodity standards for net weight, measure, or count, except for manufactured commodities with four or more staple ingredients, using official specifications or accepted usage when none exist. Once a standard applies, selling the commodity at a quantity greater or less than that standard is unlawful, and regulations must follow the cited administrative procedure.
