Table eggs & egg products

Shell eggs for consumption and egg products such as liquid and dried egg, requested to the buyer's grade, size, packing and destination rules.

Quick answer

Table eggs are food eggs sold in shell to a market's grade and weight classes; egg products are liquid, frozen or dried egg for manufacturers. To source either, state the form, grade or specification, packing, volume and destination. HatchMatch reviews the request and contacts suppliers for you; availability and price are confirmed per request.

This catalog shows what you can request, not stock. HatchMatch has no verified supplier data on these pages yet, so suppliers, availability, prices, origin and claims are confirmed for each request. Your request is reviewed by our team, who contact suppliers on your behalf — there is no direct supplier contact.

What sets these items apart

  • Table eggs are food eggs and are never interchangeable with hatching eggs.
  • Shell eggs and egg products (out of shell: liquid, frozen or dried) fall under different headings and handling rules.
  • Grades and weight classes are defined by the destination market's own standard — the EU and the US use different systems.
