Alberta Egg Producers
The Alberta Egg Producers, established in 1968, is a board representing over 165 registered egg producers in Alberta.
Alberta’s egg industry operates under the provincial Marketing of Agricultural Products Act, the Alberta Egg Producers Plan Regulation (AR 258/97) and the Alberta Egg Production and Marketing Regulation 293/97, which is supervised by the Alberta Agricultural Products Marketing Council, a government agency charged with overseeing all agricultural marketing boards and commissions in Alberta.
Egg producers in Alberta fall into one of two categories – unregistered (i.e. egg producers with 300 or fewer layer hens) or registered (i.e. egg producers with more than 300 layer hens and as such, come under a system having extensive checks and balances in place to ensure only the safest and highest quality eggs reach consumers). Egg producers in Canada are global leaders with their HACCP-based, on-farm health and safety practices. As a result, Canadian eggs are considered to be some of the safest in the world.
