Review:
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) provides regulatory oversight and guidance to shell egg producers to ensure they meet Federal and State regulations. Most Minnesota producers selling eggs from their own flock do not need a food handler's license and operate on a small enough scale that they also do not need to have their facility inspected. These producers must still follow state regulations for handling, labeling, and storage to provide a wholesome, quality product to Minnesota customers. Producers with more than 3,000 laying fowl are subject to the USDA Shell Egg Surveillance program.
