§ 27593 Egg Origin Inspection Requirements

• •Eggs must be checked where they come from to make sure they are safe and follow the rules.
• •These checks happen at places where eggs are packed or sent out to stores.
• •The rules for these checks are made with help from a group called the Shell Egg Advisory Committee.

A farm sells eggs to a grocery store.

Before the eggs can be sold, someone from the county must check them at the farm or the packing place to make sure they are clean and safe. If the eggs don’t pass the check, they can’t be sold.
