Egg processing entails converting raw eggs into value-added products like liquid, dried, and frozen eggs, while maintaining safety and quality for the food industry and consumer markets. This process not only improves convenience and shelf life but also preserves the nutritional advantages of eggs, making them versatile components for a wide range of culinary uses.
The main categories of egg processing are whole egg, egg yolk, and egg white. Whole egg consists of both the albumen (white) and the yolk (yellow), each contributing unique health benefits. The processing of whole egg aims to eliminate Salmonella without altering the properties of the final egg product. The resulting products can take the form of dried egg products, liquid egg products, and frozen egg products. These processed egg products find applications in various industries, including bakery and confectionery, dairy products, ready-to-eat foods, soups and sauces, and others.

Egg processing is used to produce specialty egg products that are sold directly to consumers or to restaurants as convenience foods. For example, in April 2024, according to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, a Canada-based government agency, sales of ready meals-a type of RTE food-reached $3.19 billion (Can$4.4 billion) in 2023, while the total value of ready meals increased from $6,362.2 million (Can$8,773.6 million) in 2022 to $6,633.65 million (Can$9,147.9 million) in 2023. Therefore, rising demand for ready-to-eat and convenience foods is supporting the expansion of the egg processing market.
Key players in the egg processing market are concentrating on developing innovative products like the Vision Weighing System to maintain their market position. The Vision Weighing System employs a camera and AI technology to minimize the need for contact with additional machinery and reduce labor requirements. For instance, in June 2023, Moba, a Netherlands-based manufacturer of egg grading, packing, and processing machines, launched the Vision Weighing System, which utilizes AI to identify visual traits unique to each egg and associate them with specific crack levels and weights. This AI system has been trained using an extensive dataset comprising thousands of egg images and their corresponding weights, allowing it to store the data it gathers and continuously enhance its detection accuracy. This innovative product offers multiple advantages to egg producers throughout the production process.
