That means Ohio Department of Agriculture Registration and a Retail Food Establishment License from a local health department are not required and labeling regulations and refrigeration requirements do not apply to backyard egg sellers. Ohio law contains requirements for licensing and registration of egg marketing activities and labeling and refrigeration of marketed eggs however, they don’t apply to those with fewer than 500 birds selling only eggs direct to consumers on the premises where the eggs were produced. All those chicks consumers bought have to be producing a lot of eggs, which creates a saturated market and a lot of roadside stands.
