Eggland’s Best Organic Eggs Again Achieves Organic Certification

Cedar Knolls, N.J., September 1, 2015 –Each year, Eggland’s Best conducts over 200,000 quality tests to ensure they are providing their customers with the best products. For Eggland’s Best Organic Eggs, this attention to detail has paid off as they have once again earned their Trader Certification to the United States Department of Agriculture National Organic Program (USDA NOP) by Quality Assurance International.more

Organic Trader Certification evaluates organic producers to ensure their practices are in agreement with the USDA NOP. This evaluation involves the review of many different aspects of the brand including organic certification documents from all Eggland’s Best egg farms and a review of all packaging labels. Eggland’s Best excelled in all areas of the review, which marks the sixth year in a row of certification.

“The Organic Trader Certification, combined with the accreditations for our organic producers by esteemed organizations such as the American Humane Association and the Humane Farm Animal Care for our animal care practices, provides a strong and comprehensive program so our consumers can have complete confidence in the organic integrity of our products,” says Dr. Bart Slaugh, Director of Quality Assurance at Eggland’s Best.

Eggland’s Best’s ability to produce high-quality products is due not only to their strict adherence to the USDA NOP guidelines, but also to their own quality assurance program. Each egg at Eggland’s Best is held to the highest standards, resulting in an egg superior in nutrition, taste and freshness. Due to their proprietary, all-vegetarian hen feed, Eggland’s Best eggs contain 25 percent less saturated fat, four times more vitamin D and ten times more vitamin E than ordinary eggs.

“We want consumers to trust they are purchasing the highest quality egg when they choose Eggland’s Best,” says Charlie Lanktree, President and CEO of Eggland’s Best, “By achieving the organic certification from Quality Assurance International we hope to strengthen that trust from new and loyal consumers looking for certified organic eggs.”
