11th October World Egg Day

This year’s World Egg Day theme ‘United by eggs’ celebrates how the incredible egg can connect and unite people from all corners of the globe.

Eggs can be found in cuisines across our planet’s cultures and countries, showcasing their universal appeal and essential role in global nutrition.

As well as being an environmentally friendly animal protein source and their abundance of nutritional benefits, eggs have the power to bring people together. They can play a crucial role in fostering cross cultural understanding and promoting solidarity within communities across the world.
