A recent survey conducted by Acosta determined that following the advent of COVID a considerable number of Americans commenced working from home.  Accordingly, opportunities exist for innovative egg products as 47 percent of adults surveyed are preparing breakfasts and lunches compared to 37 percent for breakfasts and 26 percent for lunches prior to the advent of COVID. This trend will continue into 2022 as a return to offices has been delayed by the emergence of the Omicron strain.

As an example, Nestle has introduced  Life Cuisine™ egg bites.  The company is also developing products to satisfy the demand for bowls suitable for both breakfast and lunch.

An additional opportunity for eggs relates to snacking that has increased immeasurably with at-home work.  The demand is for healthy snacks that offer a variety of flavors allowing eggs to be the major ingredient in combination with vegetable and herb additives.
