EGGS SAFETY at Rieger Farms

Why we do grade eggs?
Grading and Egg Safety
Grade requirements are set for eggs to protect the consuming public from undue risk. In grading eggs, the factors of interior quality, weight, cleanliness, and shell construction are considered. These factors are related to safety, wholesomeness, and quality. Eggs are graded in a registered egg station to ensure they are handled and packed in a sanitary environment. Read more...... Regulations in place to protect consumers require that grading stations that are graded as Canada A (consumer-grade eggs) must be clean and free of leaks, cracks, or other defects that could present food safety problems.
