Voters should care about this bill because it aims to address a specific inefficiency in the egg supply chain that could impact egg prices and reduce food waste. Currently, perfectly good surplus hatching eggs might be discarded due to regulations designed for table eggs, even if they are destined for processing where additional safety steps are taken.
If this bill becomes law, it would create a new, regulated pathway for these eggs to enter the food supply as liquid egg products. This could increase the overall supply of eggs available for processing, potentially leading to lower costs for food manufacturers and, in turn, for consumers who buy products containing liquid eggs. If it doesn't pass, these surplus eggs would likely continue to be wasted, missing an opportunity to add to the nation's food supply and potentially stabilize prices.
