Sec. 2. The Egg Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 1031 through 21 U.S.C. 1056) provide, Sec. 23, (b), "For eggs which have moved or are moving in interstate or foreign commerce, (1) no State or local jurisdiction may require the use of standards of quality, condition, weight, quantity, or grade which are in addition to or different from the official Federal standards, (2) with respect to egg handlers specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 5(e), no State or local jurisdiction may impose temperature requirements pertaining to eggs packaged for the ultimate consumer which are in addition to, or different from, federal requirements, and (3) no state or local jurisdiction other than those in noncontiguous areas of the United States may require labeling to show the state or other geographical area of production or origin. Provided, however, that this shall not preclude a state from requiring that the name, address, and license number of the person processing or packaging eggs, be shown on each container.".
