§ 27533 Egg Shell Inspection Standards

• •The rules for checking egg shells must match the rules set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
• •If the federal government changes its egg shell rules, California must follow those changes.
• •This law makes sure egg checks are the same everywhere in the U.S.

A farmer in California sells eggs to a grocery store.

The way the eggs are checked for cleanliness and cracks must follow the same rules as a farmer in another state, like Texas. If the U.S. government says eggs must be checked a certain way, California has to do it that way too.
