 safety and satisfactorily, hence we advise 

 our customers and friends to order poul- 

 try instead. In the event that eggs are 

 ordered, we want it fully understood that 

 we' are not responsible for the eggs after 

 they leave our establishment as to un- 

 fertility due to transportation.
