Today, a group of lawmakers introduced “The Lowering Egg Prices Act,” which would cut red tape that forces farmers to cull hundreds of millions of eggs annually.
The bill, introduced by Representative Josh Ruley, Representative Dusty Johnson, Representative Pat Harrigan, and Representative Kristen McDonald Rivet, is similar to the National Chicken Council’s petition to modify a decade-old regulation that forces the industry to discard safe eggs.
Federal regulations require eggs to be refrigerated 36 hours after they are laid, but it does not specify between table eggs and breaker eggs, which are used in everyday products.
