Yes, all USDA eggs are inspected for quality and safety. The USDA oversees the grading of eggs, which includes checks for factors such as size, weight, and shell quality. Additionally, the inspection process helps ensure that eggs are free from contamination and meet health standards. However, it's important to note that while USDA inspection is mandatory for commercial eggs, not all eggs sold are necessarily graded or inspected at the same level.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates and inspects eggs. Specifically, the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service oversees the grading and quality standards for eggs, while the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) ensures their safety through inspections. Additionally, the Egg Products Inspection Act mandates that all egg products are inspected before they can be sold.

The USDA sticker indicates that the chicken has been inspected and meets the basic safety and quality standards set by the USDA.

Essentially, the USDA sticker ensures safety, while the USDA Grade provides information about the quality of the chicken.
USDA indicates the beef was rated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. USGI stands for U.S. Government Issue, and usually means the meat was originally sources for the US Armed Forces and is now being sold as surplus. Note: It is NOT necessarily the case that USGI beef has been inspected by the USDA.
