Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
The Oregon Department of Agriculture Food Safety Program
				licenses and inspects all facets of Oregon's food distribution system, except
				restaurants, to ensure food is safe for consumption. Education and technical
				assistance are vital to the prevention, correction, and abatement of food
				safety violations, and are preferred over regulatory action. However,
				regulatory action may be necessary to deter violations of food safety laws and
				rules, to educate persons about the consequences of such violations, and to
				compel compliance with food safety laws for the protection of consumers. The
				Department intends to initiate civil penalty actions when educational measures,
				technical assistance, warning letters, compliance agreements or other remedial
				measures fail to achieve compliance.

(1) AA
			 Quality. The shell must be clean, unbroken, and practically normal. The air
			 cell must not exceed 1/8 inch in depth, may show unlimited movement, and may be
			 free or bubbly. The white must be clear and firm so that the yolk is only
			 slightly defined when the egg is twirled before the candling light. 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 3/16 inch in
			 depth, may show unlimited movement, and may be free or bubbly. The white must
			 be clear and at least reasonably firm so that the yolk outline is only fairly
			 well defined when the egg is twirled before the candling light. The yolk must
			 be practically free from apparent defects.
(3) B Quality. The shell must be unbroken,
			 may be abnormal and may have slightly stained areas. Moderately stained areas
			 are permitted if they do not cover more than 1/32 of the shell surface if
			 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 may be over
			 3/8 inch in depth, may show unlimited movement, and may be free or bubbly. The
			 white may be weak so that the yolk outline is plainly visible when the egg is
			 twirled before the candling light. The yolk may appear dark, enlarged and
			 flattened, and may show clearly visible germ development but no blood due to
			 such development. It may show other serious defects that do not render the egg
			 inedible. Small blood spots or meat spots (aggregating not more than 1/8 inch
			 in diameter) may be present.

			 material, prominent stains, or moderate stains covering more than 1/32 of the
			 shell surface if localized, or 1/16 of the shell surface if
			 scattered.
(3) Check. An individual
			 egg that has a broken shell or crack in the shell but with its shell membranes
			 intact and its contents do not leak. A "check" is considered to be lower in
