AZ Legislation Would Allow Eggs To Be On Grocery Store Shelf Longer

PHOENIX — What’s the difference between a Grade A egg and one that’s labeled Grade AA?

Pretty soon it could be as much as three weeks.

The state Senate gave final approval this week to legislation that allows Grade A eggs to remain available for sale for up to 45 days after they were packed. That’s nearly twice as long as currently permitted.

In fact, the cartons for these eggs won’t use terms like “sell by” or “buy thru” — the language in the current law. Instead they will be marked “best by” or “use by.”
