Utah's egg laws get a significant rewrite under this bill, which reorganizes and clarifies the rules governing who can sell shell eggs and under what conditions. Anyone who distributes shell eggs in Utah must now obtain a license from the state Department of Agriculture and Food, though small producers — those with fewer than 3,000 hens — are exempt from that licensing requirement. Large producers (3,000 or more hens) must register as food establishments and submit to periodic inspections of their facilities, vehicles, and records. Small producers who sell retail or wholesale must notify the department of their operation, follow specific labeling and packaging requirements, keep their eggs displayed separately in grocery stores, and are explicitly prohibited from selling Utah-produced small-farm eggs out of state.
