The term “fresh eggs”, “strictly fresh eggs”, “hennery eggs” or “new-laid eggs” or words or descriptions of similar import shall not be used on any eggs which do not meet the minimum requirements for consumer grade A, or on any eggs which have been held in cold storage for more than thirty days. The word “Connecticut” may not be used in connection with the official grades unless the person or firm engaged in packing the eggs is registered with the state's Department of Agriculture and the eggs were produced on Connecticut farms.

History: 1959 act required registration with department of consumer protection rather than with department of agriculture as condition for using “Connecticut”; June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6 and P.A. 04-169 replaced Department of Consumer Protection with Department of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, effective July 1, 2004; P.A. 04-189 repealed Sec. 146 of June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6, thereby reversing the merger of the Departments of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, effective June 1, 2004; P.A. 13-241 replaced reference to Department of Consumer Protection with reference to Department of Agriculture and made a technical change, effective July 2, 2013.
