• Egg

  Egg License Application
  Any person selling, offering for sale or distributing, or grading eggs in Kansas needs to obtain a license. The license fee is $5 each year and the license is valid until December 31st each year.
  
  A producer of eggs when selling ungraded eggs of the producer's own flock production directly to the end consumer is exempted from the egg license if the producer owns 250 or fewer hens. See the Egg Fact Sheet for Small Flocks/Farmers Market for more information about the exemption.
  
  Food Retailers and Restaurants selling or using eggs from a Licensed Egg Producer, distributor, or last handler are also exempt from the egg license.

  Licensees must keep and retain for 3 years such records required to verify the quantity of eggs bought, sold, offered for sale or distributed in the State of Kansas. An inspection fee of 3.5 mills for each dozen of graded eggs sold, offered or exposed for sale or distribution must be reported quarterly. The minimum quarterly fee is $15, unless Egg Stamps are used.
  
  Food Retailers that remove eggs from their original cartons and repackage them for resale have two options. Option 1, Lot Consolidation, requires the eggs be consolidated in cartons with identical lot/packaging numbers, size, and grade. Option 2, Mixed Lot Repackaging, allows eggs from different lots and sizes to be consolidated, but the egg inspection fee must be paid and the repackaged eggs must not be marked any higher than Grade B. All eggs in the carton must be at least the size on the carton.
  
  All eggs sold to restaurants or grocery stores must meet at least Grade B requirements. Information about grading eggs is available from the USDA Egg-Grading Manual.

  Egg Distributor or Last Handler
  This form is a supplement to the Egg Application and needs to be submitted by all last handlers or distributors.

  Quarterly Report of Egg Inspection Fee
  An inspection fee of 3.5 mills for each dozen of graded eggs sold, offered or exposed for sale or distribution must be paid quarterly. The minimum quarterly fee is $15, unless Egg Stamps are used.

  Egg Stamp Application
  An inspection fee of 3.5 mills for each dozen of graded eggs sold, offered or exposed for sale or distribution must be paid. Egg Stamps are stickers that are affixed to each container. Each Egg Stamp represents the inspection fee for one dozen eggs. Egg inspection fee stamps may be purchased at a minimum order of 1,000 carton stamps.  Egg stamps are available in each size and Grade combination, or an Egg Stamp with blank lines for size and grade is available. The generic Egg Stamp is useful when multiple size and grade combinations may be needed.
