Bill > HB0432

This bill amends existing Utah law regarding the regulation of eggs, primarily by clarifying definitions and establishing different requirements for "large producers" (those with 3,000 or more layers and subject to federal regulations like 21 C.F.R. Part 118 and 21 U.S.C. Chapter 15) and "small producers" (those with fewer than 3,000 layers and exempt from those federal regulations). The bill allows the department to collect fees for administering and enforcing egg regulations and specifies that only large producers must register as food establishments and undergo inspections, while small producers have specific labeling requirements, including stating they are exempt from federal inspection and not from an inspected source, and must display their eggs separately from those of larger producers. The bill also defines terms like "end consumer" and "retailer," prohibits the sale of eggs that are addled, moldy, or exhibit certain defects, and clarifies that health departments can only prevent the sale of shell eggs from small producers if they are found to be addled, moldy, or contain specific defects.
