America's Biggest Egg Company Is Moving Beyond the Shell
SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 14, 2026 – Cal-Maine Foods, the single largest producer and distributor of fresh shell eggs in the United States, is reshaping its business well beyond the carton. The Mississippi-based company reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 results on April 1, covering the period ended February 28, 2026, and its corporate snapshot tells a striking story: 48.3 million laying hens, $4.3 billion in annual net sales, and 1.3 billion dozen eggs sold each year. What's changing is what those eggs are becoming — not just a commodity in a grocery cooler, but the foundation of a broader prepared-foods strategy.
