An egg with an air cell measuring 3/8" or more is classified as what grade?

  1. Grade A

  2. Grade AA

  3. Grade B

  4. Loss or reject

The correct answer is: Grade B

An egg with an air cell measuring 3/8" or more is classified as Grade B. The grading standards for eggs specify that as the size of the air cell increases, the quality of the egg decreases. A Grade AA egg is characterized by a small air cell, generally 1/8" or less, while a Grade A egg has a slightly larger air cell, up to 1/4". Once the air cell reaches 3/8", it indicates a deterioration in the egg's freshness, and it no longer meets the criteria for Grade A or Grade AA. Instead, it falls into the Grade B category, which is suitable for processed products rather than for direct consumer sale. This grading system helps to maintain quality standards in the poultry industry, ensuring that consumers receive eggs that are as fresh and high-quality as possible.
