5K-6.006. Candling to Determine Grade  


Effective on Sunday, December 23, 1984
  • 1Grades of internal quality of shell eggs shall be determined by candling and only after candling may a quality grade be declared by any dealer or packer of shell eggs. It is recommended that eggs be candled by using a candler with sufficient light intensity at the aperture to permit accurate viewing of the internal grading factors. Such candling should be done in a dark room to insure the necessary accuracy. Candlers which include a roll-over light or other candling device are permitted when used accurately.
