Eggland’s Best (EB) announces that scientific testing has confirmed that the EB’s shells are stronger than those of ordinary eggs, leading to less breakage, improved freshness, and overall better quality.

Additionally, an independent study published in the Journal of Applied Poultry Research by a major agricultural research university shows that Eggland’s Best is the leader egg in freshness, and that EB eggs stay fresher longer than ordinary eggs. It was concluded by Charles Johnson, former Chief, Grading Branch, USDA, Agricultural Marketing Service and co-author of the study that “production and handling practices used by Eggland’s Best assures a fresh egg and, further, extends the freshness period beyond what is typically found in generic eggs.”more

“At Eggland’s Best we are dedicated to the health and wellness of our loyal consumers and to provide the highest quality egg, whether they are Eggland’s Best’s Cage Free, Organic or Classic eggs,” said Bart Slaugh, PhD, Director of Quality Assurance at Eggland’s Best. “We continue to follow and improve our 27 point quality and freshness program which makes us the leader in nutrition and freshness.”

As part of the 27 point quality and freshness program, EB conducts more than 35,000 tests a year to ensure that the freshness, nutrition and quality standards of EB eggs are being met and exceeded. EB also provides its hens a high-quality feed that contains superior levels of vitamins and minerals compared to ordinary hen feed with no animal by-products or fat, which boosts shell strength and allows the eggs to stay fresher longer. This results in Eggland’s Best being a nutritionally superior egg compared to ordinary eggs.

“Eggland’s Best eggs have become a vital part of my diet due to the superior nutritional benefits that can’t be found in any other egg,” said Dawn Jackson Blatner, Registered Dietician and Nutritionist. “A lot of my clients are surprised to learn that a fresher egg means better tasting recipes, which is why I always recommend Eggland’s Best Eggs to ensure they are purchasing the freshest, most nutritious, and best egg possible.”
