Refrigeration Requirements for Shell Eggs

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is revising its regulations governing the voluntary shell egg grading program by adding a definition of the term ``ambient temperature,'' by amending the refrigeration requirements, and by adding a labeling requirement. Amendments to the Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA) in 1991 involved refrigeration and labeling requirements to enhance the safety of table eggs nationwide and to protect the health and welfare of the consuming public. AMS is amending 7 CFR part 56 to conform to the FSIS temperature and labeling requirements.
