Lets egg producers sell extra eggs more easily, aiming to lower egg product prices.
This bill would make it easier for chicken hatcheries to sell their extra eggs to companies that make liquid egg products. It would change a current rule that limits how these eggs can be stored, which could help increase the supply of eggs for processing and potentially lower prices for consumers.
Today, a specific federal rule for regular shell eggs also applies to surplus broiler hatching eggs, which can make it difficult to sell them to companies that process eggs into liquid products. After this bill, that rule would no longer apply to these surplus eggs, and new rules would be created within 180 days to allow them to be sold under conditions compatible with hatching chicks.
