Nevada Administrative Code › Chapter 583 - Meat, Fish, Produce, Poultry and Eggs › EGGS › Section 583.131 - Terms descriptive of the yolk defined

Current through June 11, 2024
1. "Blood due
			 to germ development" means blood caused by the development of a germ in a
			 fertile egg to the point where the blood is visible as definite lines or as a
			 blood ring.
2. "Clearly visible
			 germ development" means development of a germ spot on the yolk of a fertile egg
			 that has progressed to a point where it is plainly visible as a definite
			 circular area or spot with no blood in evidence.
3. A yolk has "definite but not serious
			 defects" if it shows definite spots or areas on its surface but with only a
			 slight indication of germ development or other pronounced or serious
			 defects.
4. A yolk is "enlarged and
			 flattened" if the membranes and tissues of the yolk have weakened and moisture
			 has been absorbed from the white to such an extent that the yolk appears
			 definitely enlarged and flat.
5. A
			 yolk has "serious defects" if it shows well-developed spots or areas and other
			 serious defects such as olive yolks which do not render the egg
			 inedible.
6. "Outline fairly well
			 defined" means the outline of a yolk is discernible but not clearly defined as
			 the egg is twirled.
7. "Outline
			 plainly visible" means the outline of a yolk is clearly visible as a dark
			 shadow when the egg is twirled.
8.
			 "Outline slightly defined" means the outline of a yolk is indistinctly
			 indicated and appears to blend into the surrounding white as the egg is
			 twirled.
9. A yolk is "practically
			 free from defects" if it shows no germ development although it may show other
			 very slight defects on its surface.

Nevada Administrative Code › Chapter 583 - Meat, Fish, Produce, Poultry and Eggs › EGGS › Section 583.141 - Standards of quality for shell eggs of domesticated chickens

Current through June 11, 2024
Shell eggs of domesticated chickens, except eggs which have
				been removed from incubation after partial development, must be classified
				according to the following standards of quality:
1. AA quality: The shell must be clean,
			 unbroken and practically normal. The air cell must not exceed one-eighth of an
			 inch in depth, measured at destination, and may show unlimited movement and be
			 free or bubbly. The white must be clear and firm. The yolk must be practically
			 free from apparent defects.
2. A
			 quality: The shell must be clean, unbroken and practically normal. The air cell
			 must not exceed three-sixteenths of an inch in depth, measured at destination,
			 and may show unlimited movement and be free or bubbly. The white must be clear
			 and at least reasonably firm. The yolk must be practically free from apparent
			 defects.
3. B quality:
(a) The shell must be unbroken, may be
			 abnormal and show slight stains, but it may not have adhering dirt.
(b) When a stain is localized, approximately
			 one thirty-second of the surface of the shell may be moderately stained. When
			 the moderately stained areas are scattered, approximately one-sixteenth of the
			 surface of the shell may be moderately stained.
(c) The air cell may show unlimited movement
			 and may be free or bubbly, but must not exceed three-eighths of an inch in
			 depth, measured at destination.
(d)
			 The white may be weak and watery.
(e) The yolk may appear dark, enlarged and
			 flattened. It may show clearly visible germ development but may not show the
			 presence of blood due to that development. Small blood clots or meat spots
			 which, in the aggregate, are not more than one-eighth of an inch in diameter
			 may be present.
Nevada Administrative Code › Chapter 583 - Meat, Fish, Produce, Poultry and Eggs › EGGS › Section 583.151 - Consumer grades for shell eggs

Current through June 11, 2024
1. A grade AA
			 quality lot at destination consists of eggs at least 72 percent of which are AA
			 quality, 10 percent or more of the remaining are A quality and 18 percent or
			 less are B quality. The percentage of B quality must not be more than 1 percent
			 B quality due to air cells over three-eighths of an inch, blood spots
			 (aggregating not more than one-eighth of an inch in diameter), or serious
			 defects in the yolks. Checks must not exceed 7 percent (9 percent for jumbo
			 size). Leakers, dirties or losses due to meat or blood spots, in any
			 combination, must not exceed 1 percent except loss must not exceed 0.3 percent.
			 Other types of loss are not permitted.
2. A grade A quality lot at destination
			 consists of eggs at least 82 percent of which are A quality or better, not more
			 than 18 percent are below A quality, not more than 1 percent are B quality due
			 to air cells over three-eighths of an inch, meat or blood spots (aggregating
			 not more than one-eighth of an inch in diameter) or serious defects in the
			 yolks, not more than 7 percent (9 percent for jumbo size) are checks, and not
			 more than 1 percent are leakers, dirties or losses due to meat or blood spots,
			 in any combination. The loss may not exceed 0.3 percent. Other types of loss
			 are not permitted.
3. A grade B
			 quality lot at destination consists of eggs at least 90 percent of which are B
			 quality or better, not more than 10 percent are checks and not more than 1
			 percent are leakers, dirties or losses due to meat or blood spots in any
			 combination. The loss may not exceed 0.3 percent. Other types of loss are not
			 permitted.
4. In lots of two or
			 more cases:
(a) For grade AA, each individual
			 case must contain at least 62 percent AA quality eggs.
(b) For grade A, each individual case must
			 contain at least 72 percent A quality eggs.
(c) For grade B, each individual case must
			 contain at least 80 percent B quality eggs.
(d) For any grade, a tolerance of 3.3 percent
			 for eggs in the next lower class by weight is permitted for the lot if no
			 individual case within the lot exceeds 5 percent.
(e) A lot will not be rejected or downgraded
			 because of the quality of a single egg except for loss other than blood or meat
			 spots.
