SECTION 27651-27652

27651. It is unlawful for any person to sell to any retailer,
consumer, or institution consumer, any eggs which are ungraded as to
quality and size, except that the director, upon the written
application of any producer, may find and proclaim that an emergency
exists which prevents the normal marketing of eggs by the applicant
and other producers in the same area.

27652. During an emergency which is proclaimed pursuant to Section
27651, producers in the area in which the emergency has been
proclaimed to exist may sell to any retailer, consumer, or
institution consumer, eggs which were produced upon the premises of
the producers which are ungraded as to size and quality, and any
retailer may sell such eggs to any consumer or institution consumer.
Each container of eggs which is so sold and all invoices which relate
to the eggs shall both:
(a) Be clearly marked "emergency, ungraded."
(b) Bear the name and address of the producer.
