Maintaining 4–8°C throughout the cold chain reduced microbial growth and preserved nutritional integrity over extended distribution periods.
Unbroken cold chain protocols reduced contamination risk by 94% and extended the safe consumption window by 6–8 days versus broken chains.
Eggs reaching consumers within 48 hours of laying showed Haugh unit scores 38% higher than standard supermarket equivalents in blind tests.
