370 IAC 1-1-4 Candling; Haugh unit value

Sec. 4. Interior egg quality specifications for this section are based on the apparent condition of the interior contents of the egg as it is twirled before the candling light. Any type or make of candling light may be used that will enable consistently accurate determination of the interior quality of shell eggs. It is desirable to break out an occasional egg and to determine the Haugh unit value of the broken out and candled appearance thereby aiding in correlating candled and broken out appearance.
