and in no case is the ''dead loss" for uncandled eggs to exceed 

 the hmit specified for the lowest grade of candled eggs. 



5. It will be noted that it is the intention of the State Food 

 Department to take action only against the person responsible 

 for the bad eggs. There is therefore an obligation on the part 

 of the egg receivers to exercise due care that spoilage of the 

 eggs has not resulted from any neglect on their part. 



It shall he unlarjirfid for any one to have in his possession 

 eggs known as ''yolks stuck to the shell/' ''heavy blood rings/', 

 "partially hatched/' "moldy eggs/' black spots/' "black rots/' or 

 other unwholesome eggs, unless the smiie are broken in the shell 

 and then denatured, so as to render the same unfit for human

 egg case will not be acceptable as a "tight container' for eggs-, 

 separated out as unfit for food, during the candling process.

 term than "Breaking Stock" will be sanctioned. Such terms as 

 "For manufacturing purposes," "For commercial purposes," 

 "Unfit for human food," "Rots and spots," "No. 3 Eggs," or 

 any other name of like nature will not be recognized by the Food 

 Commissioner. 



"Breaking Stock" zvhen packed in cases sealed with proper 

 identifying strips, that have been approved by the State Pood' 

 Commissioner may be shipped from zvithin or without the State 

 of Illinois either directly or otherwise, to licensed egg breaking;* 

 establishments in Illinois.
