"Restricted eggs" refers to eggs that do not meet the quality standards for sale to consumers due to various defects. In this context, the correct understanding includes those eggs that are checked, dirty, leakers (which are eggs that have broken or damaged shells allowing the content to seep out), and incubator rejects (eggs that were removed from the incubation process due to failure to develop properly). These categories of eggs are deemed unfit for marketing as fresh consumer products, thus classifying them as restricted.

In contrast, fresh eggs without blemishes, eggs with only visible cracks, and certified organic eggs all fall into a category that signals quality or compliance with specific production standards. Fresh eggs with no blemishes are considered ready for sale; eggs with visible cracks might be restricted but do not encompass the broader category of other defects; and certified organic eggs are a designation of their farming method, not their quality-related issues.
