Regulation 4 Marking

Any egg which by virtue of section 3 of the Act is required to be marked in the prescribed manner shall be marked on the shell distinctly and legibly in indelible ink with the word “PRESERVED” in letters of not less than one-sixteenth of an inch in height, the word being enclosed in a circle of not less than half an inch in diameter:

Provided that if the process of preservation to which the egg has been subjected consists solely of being dipped in, sprayed with or otherwise treated with odourless, tasteless, water-white mineral oils, the word “SEALED” shall be substituted for the word “PRESERVED”.
