About eggs; birds' eggs (not in shell, excluding yolks only), dried, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter

HS code 040891 covers the trade of dried bird eggs, excluding egg yolks. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing a shelf-stable and nutrient-dense ingredient for a wide range of food products. Dried eggs are an important source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them a valuable commodity in both domestic and international markets.

Production process

The production of dried eggs typically involves several key steps. First, the eggs are collected and carefully cleaned to remove any impurities. They are then broken and the contents are separated, with the yolks and whites being processed separately. The egg whites are then dehydrated using a variety of techniques, such as spray drying or freeze-drying, to remove the moisture content. The resulting dried egg powder is then packaged and distributed for use in various food applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of dried eggs include a steady supply of fresh eggs, as well as specialized equipment for the drying and packaging processes. Producers may also require access to reliable transportation and storage facilities to ensure the timely delivery of their products to customers. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to handle the various stages of production and quality control.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 040891 is dried egg powder, which can be used as an ingredient in a wide range of food products, including baked goods, sauces, and processed meats. The dried egg powder may also be further processed into other egg-based products, such as 040899 (Eggs, birds' eggs, not in shell, dried, cooked by steaming or boiling in water, moulded, frozen or otherwise preserved (excl. dried and yolks)) or 040819 Egg yolks, dried, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter.
