4 Tex. Admin. Code § 15.7 - Storage Requirements
(a) To prevent
undue deterioration, all packed eggs shall be stored under refrigeration at a
temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit or less; provided, however, that any
different temperature standard adopted by the United States Department of
Agriculture or the United States Food and Drug Administration shall prevail.
Such eggs shall be transported and held in areas that are clean and sanitary,
and shall not be stored or transported with or adjacent to any contaminating
source or materials.
(b) Eggs which
are shipped across the state line into Texas shall be transported under
refrigerated conditions at the same temperature as required by subsection (a)
of this section.
(c) All eggs
obtained or purchased from a broker or the mercantile trade exchange must be
identified by a lot number affixed to the end of the egg case when first placed
in storage. The person that takes first possession of these eggs after
receiving them in this state shall be liable for compliance with this
subsection and also shall be liable for payment of the fee as prescribed by
§
15.5 of this chapter (relating to
Special Fees). Upon receiving these eggs, the same person will be held
responsible for the proper labeling of these eggs to comply with this chapter
and Chapter 132 of the Code.
