I keep saying this. Other nations need to have a public meeting and ask 50% mineral rights and keep saying he's gambling the health of the nation and has no cards. Anyone betting he goes to Russia?

In before Trump calls the President of Finland a Dictator.

Why not just ask Canada? We are offering as long as we get to stamp each egg with a red maple leaf and print the price on the box.

The USA can even tack on a tariff, but they can't change or put labels on the box.

I hope this was the response.

Finland shares a border with Russia. They know how this goes.

How would this even work? If sent on a boat, they would have to refrigerate them to damn near freezing so they can make the trip. If flown, the added cost would be steep.

The whole fresh egg supply chain seems to be linked to local farms.

Why would they need to be refrigerated for the trip? Would a ship take longer than 20 days?

It's a U.S. thing. Eggs are refrigerated to prevent salmonella. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration rules require eggs be kept under 45°F/7°C at all times.

Afaik they're refrigerated because they're "ultra washed" (because I don't remember details), which removes the natural coating/protection of the eggs.

[–] Sirence@feddit.org 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

But why would the eggs need to be refrigerated on the ship already? If it's a US law wouldn't it just start applying once the eggs reach the US? Here chickens are required to be vaccinated against salmonella anyways so that shouldn't be a big issue.

Could be rules of import.
