Safety tips for decorating Easter eggs

The Department of Environmental Health has issued food safety tips to parents and care-givers helping children to decorate hard-boiled Easter eggs. Tips include:

Choose only refrigerated eggs.

Check the shells ? they should be clean and uncracked.

Check the ?best before? date on the package. If there is no ?best before? date, make sure to use the eggs within three to four weeks.

Keep eggs in the coldest section of the fridge, near the back.

Store eggs in their original carton. It protects them from odours and damage. Remember to use older eggs first.

If raw eggs crack, remove them from the shell and put them in a covered container in the refrigerator. Use them within four days.

Hard boil the eggs then cool them quickly. Do not let your children colour eggs that have cracked shells

Use a colouring dye that is non-toxic.

Store the coloured eggs in a container in the refrigerator until you?re ready to hide them or eat them. If your children want to eat their Easter eggs after using them as decoration, display the eggs in a bowl of ice.

Do not eat Easter eggs that have been out of the refrigerator for more than two hours.

Do not eat Easter eggs with cracked shells.

Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the fridge for one week in a covered container.

SPCA-Circus organiser meeting cancelled

A meeting between the organiser of an Animal Extravaganza coming to the Island and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was cancelled yesterday.

Ray Hollis, of DNA Entertainment, was unable to make the meeting because he was busy preparing for the Bermuda Circus shows, SPCA official Teresa Ince said. The circus shows will be held over the coming weekend and do not involve animal acts.

The two groups were scheduled to meet to discuss the society?s concerns about the welfare of the animals planned to come to Bermuda in May for other shows. Mr. Hollis has yet to divulge how many animals are coming, what type of animals are coming and where exactly they are kept.

It is also unclear if Mr. Hollis has obtained permission from the Government to bring the animals to Bermuda as Mr. Hollis would not comment and the Ministry of Environment has yet to respond to calls. The meeting between Mr. Hollis and the SPCA will now take place on April 17.
