                                In many countries, eggs are sorted into different categories based on strict quality standards. A grade C egg represents the lowest quality grade and is not sold directly to consumers in retail stores, unlike the more common Grade A and AA eggs. These eggs have certain defects in their shell or interior quality that make them unsuitable for direct sale, but they are still safe for consumption after proper processing.
