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.
Meat Inspection Act
In the context of meat, "GRS" typically stands for "Grade and Yield," which refers to the quality grading of meat based on certain standards and the expected yield of usable meat from a carcass. Grading helps consumers and producers assess the quality and value of the meat. Different grading systems exist depending on the type of meat, such as beef or pork, and can influence pricing and marketability.
The Meat Inspection Act helped consumers by promoting meat safety. It set standards for meat that had to be met in order for meat to be sold to consumers.
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is responsible for inspecting food and meat processing plants to ensure the products are safe for consumers. They enforce regulations based on the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act to safeguard public health.
