Advantages of Egg Products:

• Quality

  Most egg products are virtually indistinguishable from fresh eggs in nutritional value, flavor, and most functional properties. These qualities are well retained during proper storage.

• Safety

  Egg products are pasteurized to destroy Salmonella and other bacteria.

• Economy

  Reduced handling, minimal shipping cost, and elimination of breakage results in reduced-cost formulations.

• Minimal Storage Space

  A 100-lb. drum of dried egg white solids is equivalent to the whites from about 28 cases (360 large eggs per case) of shell eggs. 100-lbs. of dried whole egg solids are equivalent to about 10 cases of large shell eggs. A 30-lb. can of frozen eggs is equivalent to about 22 dozen large shell eggs.

• Stability

  When properly stored according to their type, egg products will keep their quality over several months.

• Uniformity

  Egg products can be produced to definite specifications to assure the same performance in formulations time after time.

• Convenience

  Bulk quantities may be ordered and ingredients weighed and incorporated into formulas with less labor. Equipment needs are minimal, cleanup is simplified, and, except for packagings, there is no waste for disposal.
