Answer: In order to minimize microorganism contamination related problems, egg whites, whole eggs, and egg yolks are dehydrated and or pasteurized. Up to 30% of the produced eggs are pasteurized or dehydrated in developing countries
Shell egg producers pay for the USDA shell egg grading service. USDA guarantees that the produced eggs satisfy the quality and hygienic processing standards of a U. S. consumer grade which includes USDA Grade AA, USDA grade A, and USDA Grade B
Grade A stands for eggs of very high quality.
