Eggs– The Product

Farmers take great care to ensure that their eggs meet the high standards expected by Canadians. Food safety and cleanliness are important concerns on the farm. Egg farmers follow the Start Clean – Stay Clean™ program, which is a national producers’ program designed to ensure the production of safe, clean, high quality eggs. This program has national standards that must be adhered to by farmers. Egg farms are inspected regularly to ensure farmers are following program regulations. Canadian eggs are among the cleanest and safest in the world. In Canada, it is estimated that only one in a million eggs contains Salmonella and, if the egg is thoroughly cooked, there is no risk of food poisoning.
