Bedminster, New Jersey-based Do Good Foods has introduced Do Good Eggs, the company’s latest product innovation to fight food waste and combat climate change.
Michael Foods, a subsidiary of Post Holdings and a large foodservice supplier of egg products in the U.S., will work exclusively with the company to supply verified carbon reduced eggs starting in 2023 at foodservice venues nationwide.
“Our partnership with Michael Foods is monumental for Do Good Foods,” said Justin Kamine, co-founder and co-CEO.
“The fact is that we can, and must, solve the biggest environmental problems while fitting it into the existing food system to make a real difference at an incredible scale. This is why this partnership is so exciting – we have the potential to forever change the environmental impact of food waste simply by consuming more of one of the most popular and nutritious proteins on the planet in eggs.”
Every egg dozen will prevent about one pound of greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere, helping foodservice companies reduce their Scope 3 carbon emissions while appealing to consumers that want to purchase products that are better for the planet. Each customer purchasing Do Good Eggs will get a monthly carbon receipt quantifying the impact their company has made in the fight against climate change.
“This partnership gives us the capability to bring our customers a truly sustainable solution without having to compromise on the nutrition, flavor or convenience of our eggs,” said Mark Westphal, president of Michael Foods. “Consumers and corporations alike are craving real change and now our eggs, in partnership with Do Good Eggs, are able to support the movement toward bettering our planet.”
All Do Good Eggs will be produced in a certified cage-free environment.
Approximately 40 percent of all food in the U.S. is sent to landfills, making up about 4 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Do Good Foods uses its innovative closed loop system to divert unsold grocery food (after donations are made) from landfills and upcycle it into animal feed.
Do Good Eggs follows the April retail launch of the company’s proof of concept – a line of carbon-reduced Do Good Chicken products that are sold at more than 450 retail locations.
