United Egg Producers (UEP) is a national trade association representing egg farmers in the United States. Founded in 1968, the organization works to support the economic viability of egg producers while promoting responsible animal care, food safety, environmental stewardship, and sustainable farming practices within the egg industry.
UEP typically pursues agricultural and food policy legislation related to animal welfare standards, food safety regulations, environmental compliance, agricultural trade, nutrition programs, and federal farm policy that impacts egg producers.
UEP is primarily funded through membership dues paid by egg producers and related industry stakeholders.
UEP is affiliated with UEP Certified, which administers its animal welfare certification program, and works closely with the American Egg Board and other agricultural and livestock industry organizations.
