Ohioans Seek Exemption in Food Rulings
Columbus report says Ohio frozen food locker operators seek exemption from a federal rule requiring graded meat only. Harry Flory of Eaton, head of the Ohio Frozen Food Locker Association, says most operators have not heard of the regulation in effect since August 1843. The rule, enforced by the Office of Price Administration, exempts meat already cut and wrapped and intended for immediate storage, applying to all meat except pork. At a meeting with about 50 operators and OPA officials, Paul Key noted the rule gives the OPA a check on city prices, while operators argue farmers will avoid the red tape and that the regulation would hurt business.
