Question: 1 / 515

What grade is assigned to an egg with an unusual shape?

Grade A

The grade assigned to an egg with an unusual shape is typically Grade B. An egg's grade reflects its quality, and standards established by the USDA specify that Grade A eggs have a definite and standard shape, as well as high interior quality. Unusual shapes can compromise the structural integrity of the egg and indicate lower quality. Therefore, an egg that does not conform to usual shape standards would not qualify as Grade A.

Grade B eggs might have some minor defects, including irregular shapes, but they still meet other quality parameters, such as cleanliness and yolk quality, that prevent them from being classified any lower than Grade B. Thus, while unusual shapes do not directly correspond to Grade A, they can lead to a classification of Grade B or lower depending on other factors.
