Arkansas retailers can repackage eggs
Arkansas retailers can move eggs between containers to replace missing or broken eggs. Replacement eggs must match the original packer, brand, grade, and size. They must also have the same expiration date, lot code, or Julian date. The packer match must be shown by the license number printed or stamped on the carton or container. Labels or stamps must show the other required matches. Replacement eggs must be visibly clean, without prominent stains, stuck-on dirt, debris, fecal matter, or other foreign material. Outside this exception, retailers still cannot remove eggs from their original retail container.
