Utah's egg laws would be reorganized under this bill, which sets new rules for who can sell shell eggs in the state and how they're regulated. Anyone distributing shell eggs would need a license from the state Department of Agriculture and Food unless they qualify as a small producer (fewer than 3,000 hens); large producers (3,000 or more hens) would instead have to register as food establishments, submit to periodic inspections of their facilities, transport vehicles, and records, and keep shipment records for at least two years. Small producers who sell eggs retail or wholesale would need to notify the department about their operation, follow specific labeling and packaging requirements, display their eggs separately from other eggs in grocery stores, avoid mixing their eggs with eggs from other sources when selling wholesale, and would be prohibited from selling their eggs outside of Utah. The bill also limits the department's rulemaking authority over small producers to specific listed areas while giving it broader authority to set fees and rules for administering the overall egg licensing and inspection system.
