Also known as: Lowering Egg Prices Act of 2025

Key Points

  • Congress would let surplus broiler hatching eggs be exempt from certain shell-egg handling rules when sold to plants that turn eggs into liquid egg products.
  • The goal is to let more eggs enter the food supply (as liquid egg ingredients for manufacturers), which supporters say could help ease egg supply pressures and prices.
  • The Health and Human Services Department, through the Food and Drug Commissioner, would have to update the egg rule within 180 days, working with the Agriculture Department.
  • This change is limited to surplus eggs meant for hatching chicks and only when they are sold for processing, not for selling whole “table eggs” in stores.
