WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S.
Department of Agriculture is
seeking comments until June 16 on
a proposal to change grade
standards for shell eggs.
“We evaluated how effective
grade standards are in today’s
marketplace,” said Donald L.
Houston, administrator of USDA’s
Food Safety and Quality Service.
“We found the standards for shell
eggs need to be changed to reflect
present technology in the industry,
to make the grading system easier
and to make the grade standards
more uniform.”
One of the changes would raise
the maximum permissible per
centage of “checks” - cracked
shells - in shell eggs at retail
stores
“This change would merely
align the tolerance for ‘checks’ to

practices,” Houston said.
“Although ‘checks’ have cracked
shells, the shell membranes are
intact and the contents do not
leak.”
Another change would increase
the minimum percent of “A”
quality eggs required for eggs to be
labeled “U.S. Grade A” at both
shipping point and retail store The
percent would be true for “AA”
grade at shipping point, but the
percent would be adjusted
downward at destination to reflect
normal quality loss during
marketing
Other changes would eliminate

be dropped because they’re ob
solete,” Houston said.
The changes being proposed are
basically the same as those
proposed May 27, 1980, except
USDA has decided not to eliminate
U.S. Grade AA because of com
ments received, Houston said.
The proposal was published in
the April 17 Federal Register,
available m local libraries. Copies
are being distributed to about 500
retad representatives, state and
local agriculture and consumer
affairs officials and consumer
representatives as well as industry
trade associations and packers

shell egg grading program.
