South Korea To Stamp Egg Quality Grades Directly on Shells
Shoppers in South Korea will soon see egg quality grades stamped directly on eggshells. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced the new rule on Jan. 15. Before the change, grades appeared only on the box, with the eggs only stamped with a simple “Certified” mark. Many people found that confusing. Under the new rule, eggs graded before being packaged can have their exact quality rank stamped on the shell. It will help buyers stay informed even after the box is thrown away.
