graded;

(2) The size-weight class of the eggs;

(3) The word eggs;

(4) The numerical count of the eggs;

(5) The name and address of the packer, or if the packer is not

located within the territory, the name and address of the dis-

tributor; and

(6) The country of origin of the eggs.

(b) Eggs marketed in any manner other than in containers labeled in

accordance with paragraph (a) shall be kept in full view of prospective

purchasers and shall have adjacent thereto, and prominently displayed, a

sign or similar device bearing the information required by paragraph (a)

of this section. Any such sign or device shall bear letters and numbers of

such character and size as shall be required by the Department pursuant

to its rules and regulations.

(c) The term fresh eggs, or any legend, symbol, picture,

representation or device declaring or tending to convey the impression

that the eggs are fresh may be applied only to eggs meeting the

requirements of grade or grades established by the Department for fresh

eggs and may not be applied to any eggs held in cold storage for more

than thirty (30) days.

(d) The terms Guam, locally produced, chada fresca, or any legend,

symbol, picture, representation or device declaring or tending to convey

the impression that the eggs are produced on Guam may be applied only

to eggs produced in this Territory.

(e) No label, container, display or advertisement of eggs shall

contain incorrect, fraudulent or misleading representation. No person

shall advertise eggs for sale unless the unabbreviated grade, the size-

weight class and the country of origin are conspicuously designated in

block letters at least half as high as the tallest letter in the word eggs or

the tallest figure in the price, whichever is larger.

(f) Letters and numerals used to designate the grade and size-weight

class of eggs marketed in containers shall be in clear, bold-faced type and

of a size as shall be required by the Department pursuant to its rules and

COL120106

regulations. Cartons, cases, crates, or other containers holding two or

more smaller containers of eggs shall also be lettered and numbered in

accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. Any carton, case, crate,

or other container which is reused shall upon such reuse have obliterated

or removed therefrom any labels, lettering, or other symbols or

representations not applicable to the contents upon such reuse.

(g) If eggs are stored for more than thirty (30) days after the date of

grading, they shall not be marketed within the territory unless, if the sale

is to a retailer or institutional consumer, the fact of such cold storage is

disclosed on the invoice for the transaction, and if the sale is to a

consumer, the fact of such cold storage is disclosed on a sign or similar

device prominently displayed adjacent to the eggs and kept in full view

of prospective consumers. The Department shall adopt such other rules

and regulations as will insure that retailers, institutional consumers and

consumers are adequately informed as to the fact of such cold storage,

including but not limited to the form of the invoice and rules governing

the size of the sign and the size of the lettering on such sign.
