Egg Standards Australia - ESA Farmer Portal

Welcome to Egg Standards Australia Farmer Portal

ESA is a voluntary quality assurance program that has replaced the previous egg industry program: Egg Corp Assured (ECA).

It has been developed through an extensive consultation process with industry and represents a robust, credible and workable QA standard that meets the needs of regulators and retailers.

ESA is a practical mechanism for delivering consistency across the egg industry and provides a framework for producers to demonstrate compliance.

About Egg Standards Australia

ESA provides a robust set of compliance standards that have been independently reviewed against current Australian retailer and regulatory requirements.

There are two components to the ESA program which together address quality principles from the rearing of day-old chicks up to the packing of eggs tor sale.

ESA for Rearing and Laying Farms

This covers the industry practices relating to day old chicks or started pullets to the farm, up to the point of removal of started pullets, spent hens and eggs for human consumption from the farm. This component is applicable to the following types of egg production systems: Cage, Barn and Free Range.

ESA for Grading and Packing Floors

This covers the general requirements for the collection, grading, washing, packing and delivery of shell eggs, as well as the hygienic manufacture, storage, packaging and distribution of egg pulp and egg products for sale or supply for human consumption only.
