Abstract: Excerpt from the report: The labor requirements for cleaning eggs have been reduced considerably in recent years by eliminating much of the rehandling. Breakage has been reduced by improving machine design. Tests in an early phase of this study showed, however, that commercial egg washers, as operated by their owners, left much to be desired in cleaning ability, sanitation, and in some cases, level of breakage. This situation and the many inquiries (from industry and from within USDA) for a safe and effective method of washing eggs, prompted this research.
