This bill aims to exempt surplus broiler hatching eggs from specific federal regulations concerning shell eggs when these eggs are sold to egg breakers for processing into liquid egg products. Immediately upon enactment, the bill makes section 118.4(e) of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, which pertains to temperature and holding time, inapplicable to these particular eggs. Furthermore, the Act mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, to issue a revised rule within 180 days. This new rule will allow surplus broiler hatching eggs to be held at temperatures and for periods compatible with conditions for hatching chicks, facilitating their sale to egg breakers. The overall goal is to streamline the use of these eggs, potentially impacting the availability and cost of liquid egg products.
