Setting the Standard for Egg Safety at R.W Sauder Inc, we don’t just meet safety requirements—we exceed them. We are proud participants in the Pennsylvania Egg Quality Assurance Program (PEQAP), a voluntary initiative recognized as one of the most rigorous food safety programs in the country. By following PEQAP’s strict protocols for flock testing and environmental monitoring, we provide an extra layer of protection against Salmonella Enteritidis, ensuring that every egg reaching your kitchen is as safe as it is nutritious.
HFAC – Standard of Excellence at R.W Sauder Inc, we prioritize the welfare of our flocks to bring you a superior egg. Our partnership with Humane Farm Animal Care ensures that our shell eggs are produced without the use of cages, crates, or overcrowding. From the air quality in the barns to the nesting boxes provided for every hen, we oversee every detail so you can feel good about what’s on your breakfast table. It’s not just a label; it’s our promise to you that our products are raised with compassion from start to finish.
Sauder Organic brand shell eggs are proud to carry the Pennsylvania Certified Organic (PCO) seal. This means that from the moment our hens hatch, they are raised according to the most rigorous organic standards in the nation. 100% Organic Feed: Our hens are fed a diet strictly free from GMOs, synthetic pesticides, and animal by-products. PCO verifies that our birds have ample access to the outdoors, fresh air, and sunlight, allowing them to engage in natural behaviors like foraging and dust bathing. With Sauders maintaining PCO certification, we ensure our farm protects local Pennsylvania watersheds and soil health through responsible manure management and sustainable grazing.
