§ 27652 Emergency Ungraded Egg Sales

• •During an emergency, farmers can sell eggs that haven't been checked for size or quality.
• •Stores can sell these unchecked eggs to people or places like schools.
• •Every egg box must say 'emergency, ungraded' and have the farmer's name and address on it.
• •This rule only works if the government says there's an emergency.

A big storm knocks out power, and the government says it's an emergency. Stores start running low on eggs.

Farmers can sell eggs straight from their farms, even if they haven't been sorted by size or checked for quality. The store can sell these eggs to you, but the carton must have a sticker that says 'emergency, ungraded' and the farmer's info.
