Lowering Egg Prices Act of 2025

This bill would allow extra eggs that were originally meant to be hatched into chickens raised for meat to instead be used in liquid egg products, like the kind sold to food manufacturers. Right now, most eggs meant for people to eat have to be refrigerated within 36 hours of being laid, but hatching eggs are kept warmer to help chicks develop, so they can't currently be sold for use in food. This bill would create an exception to the refrigeration rule for these surplus hatching eggs, as long as they are sent to facilities that process them into liquid egg products, which are already required by law to be treated to kill bacteria.
