The bill amends the Food Law of Michigan, specifically section 7114, to update the standards and regulations regarding the sale and labeling of shell eggs. It adopts U.S. standards for shell eggs by reference and clarifies the definitions of eggs deemed unfit for human consumption, including various conditions such as black rots and sour eggs. The bill specifies that any egg unfit for human food must be broken out of its shell and destroyed by approved methods. Additionally, it mandates that all eggs sold must be marked according to specific weight classifications, such as "Jumbo" or "Extra large," and that advertising must include the correct size designation.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new labeling requirements for eggs, ensuring that they conform to U.S. quality standards and must not be sold if they do not meet these standards. It also outlines the conditions under which certain small-scale producers are exempt from these regulations, provided they meet specific criteria, such as selling directly to consumers and ensuring their containers are properly labeled. The amendments aim to enhance food safety and consumer protection regarding egg quality and labeling in Michigan.
