§ 27635 Egg Species Labeling Requirements

• •You can't sell eggs from ducks, turkeys, or other birds and call them chicken eggs.
• •If you sell eggs that aren't from chickens, you must clearly label what kind of bird they came from.
• •The label must be on the egg container or shown nearby, like on a sign.

A farmer sells duck eggs at a market but labels them as chicken eggs.

This is against the law because the farmer didn't tell buyers the eggs are from ducks. They must label the eggs correctly or put up a sign saying they're duck eggs.
