It is unlawful: A. to offer eggs for sale in any newspaper advertisement, circular, radio or other

form of advertising without plainly designating in the advertisement the classification

as to grade and size to which the eggs being offered for sale properly belong, when

price is a factor in the advertisement. The terms “fresh eggs,” “strictly fresh eggs,” “hennery eggs,” “new-laid eggs” or

descriptions of similar import shall not be used in connection with the sale or offering

for sale or advertising for sale of eggs in New Mexico that do not meet the minimum

requirements for the New Mexico grade A eggs or better; B. to sell eggs by the case without an invoice stating both the correct size and correct

grade description accompanying each case of eggs delivered to a retailer or consumer. The invoice shall also include the name and address of both buyer and seller, date

of sale and shall otherwise conform to the regulations set forth in the Egg Grading

Act. The invoice shall be kept by the receiving dealer for a period of thirty days in

case the inspector calls for it; C. to offer for sale eggs in cartons that do not have the name of the packer or distributor

stamped or printed on them; or D. to sell uncartoned eggs at retail.
