Trade in eggs prompts pure food law enforcement
Chicago August 15 reports no major shift in egg markets with heavy undergrade arrivals moving slowly amid buyer holder disputes. Fancy grades sold well, demand from outside sources rose, while butter and egg board activity remained light. Refrigerated April eggs hovered around 21 cents with weak bids, and overall sentiment noted expected regulation by state and federal authorities to curb bad eggs and improve consumer protection. Heat on storage egg holdings is noted with large year-to-year declines and calls for stricter enforcement.
