When eggs are sold to market in stores, YES The Food & Drug Inspection Agency in the U.S. and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in Canada both require the hens and the eggs to be inspected and the eggs graded for quality and size. Eggs sold at farm stands and Farmers Markets do not require Inspection or grading but both agencies will react to any complaints from consumers. This does not mean you need to be worried about un-graded eggs. If the farmer is going to all that trouble to bring fresh eggs to small markets then you can be reasonably sure his eggs are as safe as the ones found in grocery stores and a lot fresher.
