About eggs; birds' eggs, yolks, dried, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter

These dried egg products play a crucial role in the manufacturing of various food items, from baked goods to sauces and dressings, making them an essential ingredient in many sectors of the economy.

Production process

The production of dried eggs and egg yolks typically involves a multi-step process. First, fresh eggs are collected and carefully inspected for quality. The eggs are then separated into yolks and whites, and the yolks are pasteurized to eliminate any potential pathogens. The pasteurized yolks are then dried using various techniques, such as spray drying or freeze-drying, to remove the moisture content while preserving the nutritional properties and functionality of the egg product.

The main inputs required for the production of dried eggs and egg yolks under HS code 040811 include fresh eggs, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, producers may require specialized equipment, such as egg separators, pasteurization units, and drying machines, as well as packaging materials to ensure the proper storage and transportation of the final products.
