California Poultry and Storage Egg Label Law Enacted
California’s new storage egg and poultry labeling law took effect this week. Eggs and poultry kept in cold storage must bear a clear label or placard indicating storage when offered for sale. Officials expect enforcement, with the aim of preventing storage product from being sold as fresh. The impact may grow as storage eggs are withdrawn later. An unrelated note from Chicago reports C A Kerr, chairman of the Western Fruit Jobbers Association membership committee, announcing about 25 new members this year, bringing total to around 150. Kerr traveled to St Louis this week for the campaign.
