Every person, firm or corporation engaged in the breaking of eggs and whose establishment has been inspected and approved as above described shall pay annually during the month of December of each year a license fee of three hundred dollars ($300.00) for each establishment to the Treasurer of the State of Illinois. Said Treasurer shall in each case at once certify to the Director of the Department of Agriculture the payment of such fee, and thereupon the Director of the Department of Agriculture shall issue a license to such establishment.

It shall be unlawful for any one to have in his possession eggs known as "yolks stuck to the shell," "heavy blood rings," "partially hatched," "moldy eggs," "black spots," "black rots,' or any other unwholesome eggs, unless the same are broken in the shell, and then denatured so as to render the same unfit for human food.

Every egg breaking establishment, when it has received its license, shall be furnished with an identifying establishment number. Said number shall be included as part of the proper labeling of all cans or other receptacles in which frozen or dessicated egg products are offered for sale. The form and manner of placing said number on containers shall be under rules and regulations promulgated by the Director of the Department of Agriculture.

Brokers, commission men, or ordinary receivers of eggs who have eggs shipped to them in these "breaking stock" identified cases may break the seal and examine the stock, but they must reseal the identified strip where it is cut, with another identifying strip, which carries their name and address and the date on which they inspected the eggs. They will be held responsible for any tampering of the contents of the identified cases.

Whoever shall violate any of the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished as provided in this Act, and in addition thereto the Director of the Department of Agriculture shall at once revoke such offender's license.
