The U.S. Egg Industry was represented by the AEB and the UEP at the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Poultry and Eggs held recently in Dallas, TX. Dr. Mickey Rubin, Director of the AEB Egg and Nutrition Center and Chad Gregory, CEO of UEP, are co-chairs of the Egg Working Group.

The Roundtable is intended to provide a unified voice to define ‘sustainability’ to be applicable across the industry.

It is considered essential that the egg production industry take the initiative in establishing standards since a proactive approach will prevent an antagonistic organization imposing restrictions which may prove either difficult to achieve or may degrade our image among consumers and customers.
