The Foodland Ontario logo will continue to be used
exclusively for eggs produced on Ontario farms.
Harry Pelissero, general manager of the Egg Farmers of
Ontario marketing board, circulated a proposal to egg-grading stations recently
indicating a desire to allow up to 10 per cent out-of-province eggs to be
included in cartons with the Foodland Ontario logo.
In answer to a question at a recent zone meeting, Pelissero
said that proposal is dead.
He declined to elaborate when asked why.
That is, of course, the key question - why the proposal was made in the first place.
