*Egg Beaters' on trial
ATLANTA, Ga. The long battle between the nation’s
egg producers and Standard Brands has reached United
States District Court here. Proceedings opened on
Monday. It is the culmination of the litigation brought
against the food industry giant by United Egg Producers
on behalf of all egg producers.
The suit dates back to October of 1975 when egg
producers from all over the country were outraged at
attacks being made on their product through allegedly
false and misleading advertising .of Standard Brands’

question around the dispute. “The key issue is, and always
has been, the modification of advertising, not money,”
UEP says, emphasizing that they will not compromise on
the advertising questions at stake. Standard Brands,
however, does not want its hands tied by advertising
restrictions.
Some of the “Egg Beater” advertising lines which egg
producers object to are:
“...all the taste and nutrition of farm fresh eggs...”
“If you had two eggs this morning, you’re already over
the daily cholesterol limit recommended by many doc
tors.”
“Many doctors recommend...”
United Egg Producers has conducted numerous fund
raising efforts and expresses deep gratitude to those who
have donated time and money to the cause of the legal
confrontation with Standard Brands. Contributions are
still being accepted and may be mailed to United Egg
Producers, 3951 Snapfinger Parkway, Suite 580, Decatur,
Ga. 30035, or any of its five regional affiliates. UEP is an
egg producers’ cooperative.
