Press Release Summary = A Salt Lake company has received approval from the USDA to
manufacture powdered eggs. During the application process company officials learned
that other firms operate illegally without USDA approval and may be a threat to
public health.

Press Release Body = Salt Lake City, Utah - Blue Chip Group, Inc. has just been
approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to manufacture
powdered, or dry eggs, but during the application process learned that other firms,
including some in Utah, produce powdered eggs without federal approval.

Blue Chip Group, Inc. is the only company west of the Mississippi that has been
approved by the USDA and has a USDA inspector present at all times while powdered
eggs are being produced, according to Jeff Augason, of Blue Chip Group, Inc.

The potential for salmonella and other forms of food poisoning from powdered eggs is
high, if those eggs are not produced under extremely high standards. Unless powdered
eggs are tested before being sold to consumers there is no way to know if the eggs
are contaminated, explained Augason.

"We want to comply with federal law to insure that our customers are protected from
contaminated eggs. We invested in over six months of construction and government red
tape to create a powdered egg production facility that is of the highest possible
quality," said Augason.

During the application process, officials from Blue Chip Group, Inc. became aware
that other companies in Utah are manufacturing powdered eggs without USDA
certification or approval. Augason said the USDA has only recently become aware of
the situation, and he expects the government will soon take action to protect the
public health.

"It is very easy for powdered eggs to become contaminated, and the result could be a
lot of sick people," said Augason.

Blue Chip Group, Inc. is well known for the food storage products it has been
selling for over 30 years. Many people are familiar with the distinctive black and
white cans of Morning Moos milk alternative and other food storage products
currently available in Macey's grocery stores.

The company occupies three buildings and offers consumers a wide variety of food
products at their retail location at 432 West 3440 South in Salt Lake City, however
a large portion of their growing business comes from their Internet site at
http://www.BlueChipGroup.net. The company has customers in many states and foreign
countries.
