Why am I seeing American eggs in the grocery store?

Answered by Egg Farmers of Ontario February 24th, 2017

Answer

You may come across American eggs at the grocery store for a couple of reasons.

First, Canada has trade agreements with the United States that require us to import a small percentage of eggs.

Second, there are times when we don’t have enough eggs in Canada to meet demand, especially during peak periods like Christmas and Easter.
