Some importers have tried to avoid detention of stock by asking
that contaminated consignments be released for high temperature
baking. This is not satisfactory, however, as, once the product
enters a bakery, it is liable to contaminate utensils and machinery
and also materials that may not be undergoing high temperature
baking.
The exporters are not at present prepared to carry out heat
treatment at the sites of production while they know that the home
produce of this country is not dealt with in a similar way. Both at
home and abroad progress in egg production and preparation is
being hindered on the grounds of expense, the promotion of health
and improvement in hygienic methods being apparently a secondary
consideration.
