Who we are and what we do…

The Egg Producers Federation of New Zealand (EPF) plays a vital and key role in the NZ Egg Industry by supporting and representing all NZ commercial egg farmer producers – including free range, barn and colony cage systems.

The EPF is governed by a Board of farmers who are voted in by its members. Their roles include facilitating industry collaboration, reporting statistics, advocating for the industry’s best interests and promoting responsible, safe and sustainable practices. In doing so the EPF plays a pivotal role in ensuring the continued success, sustainability and growth of the New Zealand Egg Industry while maintaining best practices and stringent animal welfare standards, food safety and biosecurity regulations of all its members.

EPF is proud to manage the voluntary nationwide egg stamping programme Trace My Egg. This is a source-assurance initiative that spans the NZ Egg Industry. It is easily recognisable by the 5-digit codes which are stamped onto the egg shells. These codes can be used to trace the individual egg back to the farm that it originated from quickly and simply by visiting the Trace My Egg website www.tracemyegg.co.nz and entering the 5-digit code from the eggshell into the Trace It! function on the website.
