To some shoppers, the meaning of the "USDA Grade A" shield on egg cartons seems pretty obvious.
The mark on the carton just means that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had a "grader" at an egg-packing facility who checked the eggs' size and color and made sure the shells weren't cracked, a USDA official said. Consumers "misunderstand" the shield, he said.
