The Process
Preparation
First, fresh shell eggs are checked and then properly stored. They are washed just before production begins.
Production of Liquid Egg
-
The eggs are broken and then visually checked, filtered and stored in chiller tanks.
-
They are then pasteurized to destroy pathogens and viruses.
-
The pasteurized liquid egg is packaged and chilled.
-
The packaged liquid egg is laboratory tested and monitored for any possible food threats before they are certified safe for delivery.
Production of Egg Powder
In the case of egg powder, there is an additional step where the pasteurized liquid eggs are dried through a special process and made into powder.
