New Egg Act Promises Breakage Reduction Goals
Kermit Birth a Penn State poultry marketing specialist told Lancaster County farmers at the Farm and Home Center that the new federal Egg Products Inspection Act regulations taking effect July 1 aim to reduce breakage. He cited breakage often above 13 percent and discussed causes from improper handling to candling needs. Officials noted it will be illegal to sell inedibles after Phase II and that processor and retailer responsibility for egg quality increases with farmer sales to customers. A USDA meeting is set for March 10 in Harrisburg.
