In a September 27th release, Eggland’s Best and the U.S. Department of Agriculture marked the packing of the 40 billionth Eggland’s Best egg under USDA Grading and Inspection.

Jeff Hendricks, AMS National Shell Supervisor, stated, “This milestone achievement is certainly one to celebrate, as it reflects Eggland’s Best ability to maintain high standards and specifications for USDA Certified Eggs.”

Kurt Misialek, President and CEO of Eggland’s Best, stated, “Our 40 billionth USDA-Approved egg is a testament to our commitment to providing the highest quality egg possible with superior nutrition, taste and freshness.”

It is a matter of record that the quality criteria for Eggland’s Best eggs are stricter than the USDA standards, with respect to shell integrity and internal quality. Eggland’s Best has a 27-point quality program supported by a fully equipped laboratory that conducts both organoleptic assays and analyses of nutrient content.
