Cold Storage, and Preserved Eggs. 

 The National Government has successfully maintained cases 

 against eggs and people who have offered eggs for sale that were 

 in an unfit condition for food, as well as stored eggs that have 

 been sold for fresh eggs. The attention of dealers is called to 

 the fact that only freshly lain eggs can be lawfully sold as eggs 

 in Maine without being labeled to show exactly what they are. 

 Cold storage eggs or eggs that have been preserved in any way 

 when offered for sale must be labeled in accord with fact and 

 every package delivered to the consumer containing stored eggs 

 must be labeled to show exactly what they are. Eggs that have 

 begun to decompose cannot be lawfully sold in Maine under any 

 conditions whatever.
