Wolff recently met with egg producers to discuss refrigeration requirements. Much of that dis cussion centered on recent inci dents in which eggs were linked to outbreaks of illness in New York State. “Reports on the problems in New York State revealed that mis handling of eggs during shipment and food preparation was a major factor,” Wolff said.

The board also advises consumers that cold egg dishes should be kept cold and hot egg dishes should be kept hot “For years, we have been telling consumers about proper handling and storage of eggs in the home,” Wolff said. “After cooking, eggs are safe, healthful foods, but we think they should be handled properly prior to purchase. The proposal to refrigerate eggs during shipment fills a gap that should be eliminated. V k-1 'A Master Distributor STORE HOURS; Hon.-Fri, 7:30-4:30 OPEN SATURDAY BY APPOINTMENT
