Liquid egg use rises in baking industry across Canada
D A Fletcher of the Canada Department of Agriculture reports growing reliance on liquid eggs by bakeries. In 1963 several million pounds were sold, mainly in Toronto and Montreal, with benefits including no freezing, simple storage, and cheaper containers. Proposals include bulk tank delivery in Ontario and a Quebec bakery growing its own laying flocks to supply eggs as needed. Frozen eggs still dominate at 18.2 million pounds last year, but liquid eggs gain traction as more plants enter production.
