A NUMBER OF ERRORS occurred in the paper Color Evaluation of Selected Capsicums by B.J. Nagle, B. Villalon, and E.E. Burns [J. Food Sci. 44(2): 416‐418] as a result of computer failure while performing the calculations. Since all the errors occurred in the Results & Discussion, this section of the paper is being reprinted in its entirety with all necessary corrections included. These errata clearly demonstrate that computers (calculators) are not infallible, and point up the necessity for making periodic checks with standard calculations with verified results.
