USDA, Egg Grading Manual(미국 계란 등급 매뉴얼)

Shell Egg Grades

Official USDA grademarks for shell eggs.  U.S. grades are based on nationally uniform standards of quality developed by the Standardization Branch.  These standards promote uniformity in Federal grading services.  The grade is determined by the interior quality of the egg and the appearance and condition of the egg shell.  The official USDA grade shield indicates the product's quality level with shell eggs categorized into one of three consumer grades:

Grade AA – The freshest and highest quality eggs will receive a Grade AA.

 

 

Grade A – Very high quality eggs will receive a Grade A.

 

 

Grade B – Lower in quality, these eggs are usually used for baking and institutional use, and are not typically found in retail stores.
