"The changes also will require retailers to specify by placard or label that the date on the package is either a puli date or package date It's expected to clear up confu sion about what a date on a meat package really means.” said Ms. Baker. Oregon’s open-date label ing went into effect in January 1974, and has required pull dates on these items: --Processed or cured meat, including weiners, bologna, other luncheon meats, liver sausage, salami, ham and bacon. -Fluid milk and cream products. -Bakery products, includ ing pastries, cookies and most crackers. -Eggs in the shell.
