Barn eggs—retail display
7A Barn eggs—retail display
A person who displays barn eggs for retail sale commits an offence if the display is not in accordance with subsections (2) and (3).
Maximum penalty: 50 penalty units.
For subsection (1)—
the display must have a sign containing the following statement:
‘THESE ARE BARN EGGS. Birds in barn systems are free to roam within a shed which may have more than 1 level. The floor may be based on litter and/or other material such as slats or wire mesh.’; and
the sign must be placed prominently so that it can be seen and read easily by a person at or near the display; and
the statement on the sign must be printed in—
a colour that contrasts with the background colour of the sign; and
Arial bold typeface in a size not less than 50 point.
If the person displays barn eggs and other hen eggs for retail display, the display of barn eggs must be separate from the display of the other eggs so that a person at or near the display can easily identify the eggs to which the sign mentioned in subsection (2) relates.
For subsection (1), it does not matter whether the eggs were produced in, or imported into, the ACT.
