United Egg Producers Certified

Keeping the Family Traditions Alive

Paul Sauder, Sauder's Eggs

Sauder's Eggs, Pennsylvania

My grandfather, Frank Sauder, came into the egg industry in the 1930’s. His commitment to provide quality eggs for the best prices marked the beginning of this family’s journey to be one of America's leading processors and marketers of fresh eggs.

Today I serve as the third generation of Sauder’s to be a part of the egg business. I have continued the foundation my grandfather and father set years before I became the president of Sauder’s Eggs. Our principles have been built upon the family traditions of integrity, product excellence, and fairness to customers.

I will always continue to follow the business principles set forth by my grandfather some 70 years ago, including the adage that ‘We’ve got to do better today than we did yesterday.

For example, we were the first egg producers in Pennsylvania to implement United Egg Producers Certified program. The stringent guidelines, devised by leading scientists and researchers, are endorsed by the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and the National Chain Restaurant Association. The program outlines how to house, feed and transport hens in accordance with set principles and guidelines.

The food safety guidelines are not only in place to ensure the fair treatment of hens, but also to protect consumers from diseases that so often result from the improper production and packaging of agricultural food sources.

Farmer participation in the program is voluntary, but joining was an easy decision for me. The animal welfare program is a win-win for everyone. It’s a win with the farmer out here who is producing the eggs. It’s a win for the hen that is protected by these guidelines, and it’s a win for the customer who is guaranteed to get the best product.

My vision is to see that you, the consumer, is never disappointed in the eggs you buy from Sauder’s Eggs. Our goal is to have 12 perfect eggs in every dozen, every time.

I know this would make my grandfather proud.
