What Is a Fresh Egg? 
A conference was held with Secretary 
Rasmussen of the Pennsylvania Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture, Director of Food 
Bureau James Foust, Chemist Charles H. 
LaWall and Special Agent R. M. Sim¬ 
mers, to determine two points that have 
been raised by the trade in connection 
with the recently enacted fresh egg law. 
First: As to what is meant or under¬ 
stood by the chalaza? The chalaza is the 
thicker portion of the egg white imme¬ 
diately surrounding the yolk and holding 
it in its proper place in the center of the 
egg. As the egg ages the chalaza weakens 
and becomes thinner, and the yolk sinks 
to the side of the shell, where it some¬ 
times becomes attached in very old eggs 
Second: After what period of time 
does an egg lose its identity as a fresh 
egg in interpreting the act? This de¬ 
pends upon many factors, among which 
are the following: First, an egg laid in 
March or April and kept under proper 
conditions will retain the characteristics 
which distinguish a fresh egg for from 
three to four weeks. In warmer weather 
this time would necessarily have to be 
reduced, and an egg laid in very hot 
weather and possibly allowed to remain 
in the nest for 24 hours or more, has lost 
these characteristics to such an extent 
that it is not as good as an April egg 
kept for a month under favorable condi¬ 
tions, and it should not be offered for sale 
nor be permitted to be sold as and for a 
fresh egg. Nor can an egg which is 
allowed to remain exposed to ordinary 
atmospheric conditions in a retail store 
for several days or a week in warm 
weather be expected to retain the char¬ 
acteristics which are expected of a fresh 
egg.
