Can I Sell Chicken Eggs in New Jersey?
If you’re interested in selling eggs in New Jersey, you have to make yourself aware of the laws, rules, and regulations that you need to follow.
The best place to start to find out how to act lawfully is the New Jersey Department of Agriculture.
If you’re going to produce organic eggs, I recommend reading the Egg Production Guidance for Producers here.
This document helps to explain some of the requirements for certifying organic egg production and provides some useful information.
Another resource I recommend reading is the Minimum Food Safety Requirements for Product Sales Farm Markets and Community Farmers’ Markets.
This document covers a lot of the regulations for lawfully selling eggs at farmers' markets. It covers some of the most important aspects in regards to safely producing, handling, and selling eggs, such as:
- Container in which eggs are sold shall contain: Name and address of the producer/packer; the word “eggs”; grade of the eggs; size-weight class of the eggs; numerical count of the contents, nutritional label.
- ¾ Eggs shall be packed in a clean container; if the container is reused it shall be cleaned and relabeled by producer/packer.
- ¾ Temperature shall be maintained at or below 45°F.
- ¾ Eggs shall not be cooled directly on ice or water.
Not All Eggs Are Equal!
If you enjoy eggs - and I’m sure you do - you’ll be well aware there can be a huge difference in the taste and quality of an egg.
Not all eggs are equal - far from it.
It’s not to do with the breed of the hen that laid the egg, either, it’s to do with how the hens are being treated at the farm.
You should always look for eggs that are labeled as ‘free range’ or ‘cage free’ as a starting point.
Caged or battery hens are generally kept in dire conditions. It’s a dated practice - that does still happen - but it’s cruel and inhumane to keep hens caged up all day.
Not only is it inhumane, but caged hens also produce eggs that are lacking in taste and nutritional content.
Trust me, when you’ve put a caged egg to the test against an egg produced by a free-range hen, you’ll never go back.
In addition to this, hens should have excellent living conditions, a good quality feed, and a high standard of care.
Happy chickens are healthy chickens, and healthy chickens lay the best eggs. It’s really as simple as that.
