HRS §147-74
Rules for grading and selling eggs
The Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity can make rules about selling eggs for people to eat, including grades, quality, size, inspection, fees, labeling, invoices, and records. These rules must follow state procedures and, when possible, match federal standards. The rules cannot unfairly burden eggs sold across state lines.
