There are an incredible amount of egg products available for caterers and food manufacturers. If you can think of a way for eggs to be sold then it probably exists. For example, eggs are available liquid, frozen and dried. Fried and poached eggs are available cooked and ready to serve, as is scrambled egg. Boiled eggs are cooked and ready shelled for use in products like scotch eggs.

To add to the range, the latest innovation in the egg product sector is Extended Shelf Life egg. In the past, liquid egg would only have a life of around one week. Now, as in the dairy industry, it is possible to pasteurise the egg at higher temperatures for a short time. This type of egg will typically have a shelf life of approximately one month.
