A Virginia advocate pushes a “good egg” law to prohibit knowingly selling eggs not meeting high standards. He notes Virginia eggs hold strong eastern market reputation, while top quality eggs are shipped out and poorer ones enter the state.

He also mentions forthcoming egg trademarking to raise quality and prices for producers who maintain standards.
