The dried egg products under this code are widely used in the manufacture of various food items, such as baked goods, pasta, and processed foods, making it a crucial component of the international food supply chain.

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, either manually or through automated equipment. The egg components are then dehydrated using techniques such as spray drying or freeze-drying, which remove the moisture content while preserving the nutritional properties. In some cases, sugar or other sweeteners may be added to the dried egg products to enhance flavor or shelf life.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of dried eggs and egg yolks under HS code 040811 are fresh eggs, which are sourced from commercial poultry farms. Additionally, the production process may require specialized equipment such as egg separators, drying chambers, and packaging machinery. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the drying and processing equipment.
