| (a) The label on an egg carton or container shall be
considered false or deceptive if:
(1) the eggs in the carton or container are not of
the quality or size indicated by the label;
(2) the label bears any statement that is false or
misleading;
(3) the label bears any qualifying words with reference
to size and quality, which are in any way misleading;
(4) the eggs in the carton or container are represented
as being "fresh" and are not of "AA" or "A" quality;
(5) the descriptive language or artwork on the carton
or container misrepresents, misleads, or misinforms the consumer as
to the method, locality, or quality of egg production; or
(6) the carton or container bears more than one Texas
egg license number or the address, city, and state of any person other
than the actual packer, unless specific approval has been granted.
(b) Any advertisement of eggs which indicates price
shall also indicate the full, correct, and unabbreviated designation
of size and grade. To prevent deception of the public, newspaper advertisements
and online and other related advertisements must display the required
information in print size of not less than eight points. Retail store
window banners, posters, and similar mediums shall display the full,
correct, and unabbreviated designation of size and grade in lettering
of at least one-quarter the size of that used in the price indication.
