Eggland's Best Eggs

Rigorous Quality Assurance

All Eggland’s Best eggs are subjected to the most rigorous quality assurance testing in the industry. Every aspect of the production and distribution of Eggland’s Best eggs, from the food our hens eat to when the eggs are in the market, is constantly monitored and carefully managed. Our state-of-the-art laboratory conducts more than 30,000 tests each year to ensure the superiority of our eggs.

At the Farm: Hen Feed Testing
To ensure that all Eggland’s Best hens receive the same high-quality feed, all Eggland’s Best producers submit samples each month of their Eggland’s Best hen feed to be evaluated in our laboratory for consistency, quality, and nutritional value.

At the Store: Product Testing
We retain an independent auditing firm to randomly visit supermarkets around the country to evaluate the quality of Eggland’s Best eggs. Eggs are collected from retail shelves and sent to an outside laboratory for evaluation. This testing is continuous throughout the year, and three independent laboratories confirm the results.

In Your Kitchen: Customer Comments and Concerns
Eggland’s Best also evaluates consumer queries received via our toll-free number and standard mail. Each producer is immediately notified of any compliments or issues.

Strict Production Standards

All Eggland’s Best eggs are processed under the watchful eye of an on-site USDA or state inspector. Eggland’s Best’s superior standards far exceed those of the USDA itself.

Eggland's Best's producers are selected for their ability to meet our stringent quality standards and their ability to deliver fresh eggs. Each franchisee producer adheres to strict production guidelines, which include uncompromising standards for sanitation and refrigeration to ensure maximum safety. If a producer fails to adhere to the strict Eggland’s Best production standards, then that producer risks losing its franchise.

Patented Hen Feed

Eggland’s Best eggs and feed program are so special and unique that the United States Patent Office has granted the company a patent titled U.S. PATENT #5, 246, 717: "Eggs compatible with Cholesterol Reducing Diet and Method of Producing the Same."

Kosher Certified

Eggland's Best eggs have been certified as kosher by the Orthodox Union, and all Eggland's Best Farms have been inspected and approved by the Orthodox Union.

Grade A / USDA Shield

The classification of an egg is determined by the interior and exterior quality of the egg. Eggland's Best eggs are graded on-site according to standards established by the USDA and Eggland's Best.  On-site USDA grading and inspecting is not mandatory for ordinary egg producers. Eggland's Best requires that its farms have inspections as further assurance of quality.

American Vegetarian Association

The primary goal of the AVA is to provide a widely recognized certification program which will enable vegetarian-minded people to make accurate food choices, being certain they can be confident in their selection, and that of Eggland’s Best claims. The AVA is trusted to maintain the absolute integrity of its certification program, and to unfailingly assure the general public of its members' highest ethical standards.
