Frozen Eggs
MAY 10, 1996
Prices were unchanged for whites,
unchanged to higher for whole egg, blends,
and salted yolks, and higher for sugared
yolks. The trade sentiment was steady for
whites, and hilly steady to firm on the
balance with yolks in the strangest posi
tion. Demand was mixed with most inquiry
centered on hill and partial loads for imme
diate delivery. Floor stocks were generally
no more than adequate. Breaking stock
supplies were usually adequate, but lest
available than last week. Edible liquid and
frozen eggs (ingredients included) pro
cessed under federal inspection in the East
ern region for the week ending May 4,
1996 were 8% more than last week, and
8% more than the tame week last year.
