Why do we do grade eggs?ine event!
Why do we do grade e 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. The first step of the grading process is to wash and sanitize the eggs by passing them through a high-speed tunnel washer. The eggs then undergo a process called “candling” where they are passed over a strong light to make the interior of the egg visible so they can be inspected for any cracks or imperfections. The grader determines the grade of the eggs by checking the condition of the shell, the size of the air cell in the egg, and whether the yolk is well centered. Once the eggs have been inspected, they are packed into cartons, ready for distribution/sale. 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.
