Which agency regulates liquid eggs?

• A. FDA
• B. EPA
• C. USDA
• D. NOAA

Answer: (C)

Liquid eggs are considered processed egg products, and their safety, handling, and labeling are governed by the Egg Products Inspection Act. This authority is exercised by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which oversees inspections of facilities producing egg products like liquid eggs. That’s why the USDA is the agency responsible here.

The other agencies don’t regulate these products: the FDA oversees many foods but egg products specifically fall under USDA’s egg product program; EPA and NOAA are not involved in food safety regulation.
