Egg Processing

What is egg processing?

Canada’s egg processors remove eggs from their shell  and transform them into liquid, powdered and frozen products and ready to eat items.

Most of these eggs are sold as ingredient and foodservice products, and consumers can also find them at the grocery store in various forms such as liquid, hard boiled, and egg patties.

Innovation drives sector growth

Egg processors work with their customers to develop new value-added food products containing processed egg products. 

Canadian consumers have responded to this innovation by increasing their consumption of processed egg products – in 2022, Canadians consumed the equivalent of 6.3 doz eggs per capita, about 30% of total eggs consumed. 

Today, the egg processing sector directly employs more than 900 Canadians in 12 plants across the country. The sector continues to invest in their plants and equipment in order to assure the efficiency and sustainability of their businesses, while also investing in innovation to meet the needs of customers.
