National Egg Day's history is related to a poultry plague around 45 A.D. When the poultry and eggs were safe, the emperor issued a royal proclamation to the Roman people, dedicating the third day of June as the Holy Roman Day of Eggs.
Eggs have a vital role to play in feeding people in both developed and developing countries. They are an excellent, affordable source of high-quality protein, that can be produced almost anywhere, making them a valuable food source to people across the world.
International Egg Commission (IEC) Chairman, Joanne Ivy, explained: “As an industry, we feel very privileged to be producing a product that can benefit so many people; we have publicly pledged to work with food organizations and developing nations to help provide access to eggs for everyone.“
Globally, over 1 billion people are underfed and undernourished; the egg industry believes that it can truly make a difference and help to stop this. With the help of the IEC and international egg associations from around the world, the international egg industry has pledged to work with the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation, food organizations, and developing nations to help to feed the world’s growing population and make eggs available to everyone.
