				  applicable only to eggs that are a product of domesticated chickens. Except as
				  provided in Section
				  1356.2, no eggs lower than Grade B
				  shall be sold for human consumption.
Interior quality is based on the apparent condition of the
					 egg contents when examined before a candling light. Any type candling light may
					 be used which will enable the grader to make an accurate determination of the
					 grading factors affecting egg quality.
(b) AA Quality. The shell must be clean and
				  unbroken. The air cell is limited to a 1/8 inch depth at origin, 
				  3/16 inch at
				  destination, and may be free and bubbly. The white must be clear and the yolk
				  practically free of apparent defects.
(c) A Quality. The shell must be clean and
				  unbroken. The air cell is limited to a 
				  3/16 -inch
				  depth at origin, 1/4 inch at destination, and may be free and bubbly. The white
				  must be clear and the yolk practically free of apparent defects.
(d) B Quality. The shell must be unbroken and
				  may have unlimited slight stains. Moderately stained areas are permitted if
				  they cover no more than 
				  1/32 of the
				  shell surface, when localized, or 
				  1/16 of the
				  shell surface if scattered. Eggs having shells with prominent stains or
				  adhering dirt are not permitted. The air cell depth may not exceed 3/8 inch,
				  may show unlimited movement and be free and bubbly. The white may be weak and
				  watery and the yolk outline plainly visible. The yolk may appear dark, enlarged
				  and flattened, and with clearly visible germ development, but no blood due to
				  such development. It may show other serious defects which do not render the egg
				  inedible.
(e) C Quality. An egg
				  having an air cell over 3/8 inch in depth or small blood spots or clots
				  aggregating no more than 1/8 inch in diameter.
