Egg Quality Assurance (EQA) is a program designed to ensure that eggs meet specific quality and safety standards. It involves regular inspections and testing of eggs throughout the production process, from the farm to the consumer. This helps to maintain high standards for freshness, cleanliness, and overall quality. The EQA program also provides guidelines for proper handling and storage of eggs. By following these guidelines, producers can minimize the risk of contamination and ensure that consumers receive safe, high-quality eggs. This initiative supports both the egg industry and public health by promoting best practices in egg production.
