Key points
- The federal government is reviewing the safety rules for egg products, which could impact food costs and availability.
- The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is the agency with the power to decide on these new regulations.
- Egg producers and their trade groups have the opportunity to influence the final rules through a public comment process.
- This regulatory review is a standard government procedure and not itself evidence of any wrongdoing.
- The next key event is the closing of the public comment period, which will be followed by the FSIS issuing its final decision.
