These Regulations apply to the retail sale by the producer from his own production of ungraded eggs (which have not been packed in accordance with Articles 16 to 19 of Council Regulation (EEC) 2772/75 as amended) on his own farm, in a local public market and by door-to-door selling (regulation 3).
It is an offence under the Regulations for the producer to sell, or to offer for sale, such eggs with cracks which are visible without candling to the naked eye (regulation 4).
Offences under the Regulations, which are enforceable by district and islands councils, are punishable, on summary conviction, by a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or, on conviction on indictment, by a fine or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 1 year or both (regulation 5). Regulation 6 applies various provisions of the Food and Drugs (Scotland) Act 1956 to prosecutions or proceedings under the Regulations as if they were prosecutions or proceedings under the Act.
