The global Pasteurized Egg Market size was worth USD 91.68 billion in 2024 and is likely to reach a valuation of USD 149.68 billion by 2029, expanding at a CAGR of 10.3% over the prediction period. Pasteurized eggs can be refrigerated for a longer period to promote market growth.
Eggs undergo pasteurization to avoid the risk of poisoning from raw or undercooked foods. Eating raw eggs can be dangerous because it is a major cause of Salmonella infection. To avoid consumer health problems caused by eating these infected eggs, the United States Food and Drug Administration has defined food codes for potentially dangerous foods, the common shell eggs. This food code defines the time and temperature controls required for safety to reduce pathogenic microbial growth or toxin formation in eggs. Eating raw or undercooked eggs can result in the poisoning of food in humans. Four of the five Salmonella-related foodborne illnesses use unsterilized eggs as the root cause. Pasteurized eggs are obtained by holding for 75 minutes for 140 minutes. It is an intense heat that is used to destroy bacteria and protect foods such as milk, cheese, juice, etc. Only liquid eggs are pasteurized but not all types of eggs. Pasteurized eggs are suitable for preparing daily recipes and undercooked egg recipes. They reduce foodborne illness caused by Salmonella by killing these bacteria. They further kill the avian influenza virus, which can affect human or animal health. Pasteurized eggshells are in general regulated by National Pasteurized Eggs Inc for sales. These eggs are available in supermarkets and refrigeration is recommended to maintain quality. This pasteurized egg is coated with food-grade wax to maintain freshness.
