APPENDIX 1: MEMBER STATE REPORTSThe industry mainly buys eggs of second quality, although other kinds of eggs are also used – firstclass eggs, small eggs, eggs with some defect. 100% of the eggs used in processing come from henskept in cages.Eggs are usually cheaper during the summer and this is therefore the period when stocks areestablished. Summer is also the period of high demand, mainly by the food service sector(restaurants, hotels, catering etc.) which increases its activity during the summer due to thesubstantial number of tourists in Spain.One factor that has greatly contributed to the increase of processed egg product consumption inSpain and, consequently, to the growth of the industry is the national legislation (Royal Decree1254/1991) on food hygiene and salmonella prevention. This established that, for collective meals andpastry, all types of food, containing eggs, cooked at a temperature below 75ºc must include eggproducts rather than shell eggs. The increase in the consumption of pre-cooked food has alsocontributed to the growth of the consumption of egg products by the food industry.Within the processed egg product sector, pasteurised liquid egg is the most important product inSpain. Dried egg products and boiled eggs are produced in much smaller quantities of the 30companies in the sector only one is <strong>report</strong>ed to produce egg powder.A1.13.4. Main egg processorsBased on data published by the National Statistics Institute (INE) it is clear that the processing sectoris relatively concentrated with the largest four companies accounting for some 54,000 tonnes ofprocessed egg production (in whole egg equivalent) out of a total of 85,000 t.
