Allan,

What about using refreezable ice (gel) packs in the insulated cooler,preferably on top of the eggs, so that the cold settles from the top down?  You might want to test the temp with a cooler full of eggs and see what you get.

We are being told by the county health department that we can only 
have eggs at market this year if they are in an electrically powered 
cooler: coleman coolers will no longer be allowed because 'they 
cannot maintain the 41 degree temperature requirement.'

Are the rest of you being affected by this? (Supposedly a recent FDA 
requirement)

I've heard that in other areas coolers have been deemed 'safe.'

Also, I hear there is not one recorded incident of a salmonella egg 
from a farmers market in the history of farmers markets in the USofA. 
(comments?)

Thanks
