What’s standards must Canadian egg producers meet?

Poultry producers across Canada must adhere to strict standards to ensure egg freshness and quality. They must also demonstrate that all production is local. There are two programs that egg farmers must comply with: the national Animal Care Program and an on-farm food safety program called Start-Clean, Stay-Clean™. These programs set comprehensive and rigorous standards based on the latest research provided by the nation’s leading experts.

Farms are inspected by qualified inspectors, and farmers are committed to caring for their flock in an exemplary manner in order to maintain egg safety and freshness at all times.
