AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE (GRADING & MARKING) ACTS,
1928-1931
Regulations made under these Acts prescribe designations referred to as "Grade designations"
indicating the quality of certain articles of agricultural or fishery produce. Such

The Acts also stipulate that all "preserved" eggs shall be so marked before being offered
for sale and that all premises used for the cold storage or chemical storage of eggs shall be
registered with the local authority. There are no firms so registered in the City of London.
