The best eggs would be picked for hatching, and the rest would be sold as ungraded eggs. In BC, these could be sold at the farm gate but they are not allowed to be sold to restaurants unless they are graded. I suspect that is what was happening in Ontario.<br />The fact is, it is illegal to bring fresh eggs in from China, and Ms. May made it sound like it was a regular practice for many grocery stores. She needs to check her facts and not mislead the public.Barbara Johnstone Grimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337111427764535495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1330254593766950261.post-9632314411013457182011-04-30T09:14:19.420-07:002011-04-30T09:14:19.420-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Barbara Johnstone Grimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337111427764535495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1330254593766950261.post-41126943086145381032011-04-29T21:36:44.188-07:002011-04-29T21:36:44.188-07:00Perhaps she meant this article:
