Cal-Maine Foods, Inc.

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. is the largest producer and distributor of fresh shell eggs in the United States, headquartered in Ridgeland, Mississippi. The company's mission is to be the most reliable and sustainable provider of consistent, high-quality fresh shell eggs and egg products, fostering a "Culture of Sustainability" and creating value for its shareholders, customers, team members, and communities.

The company's product portfolio includes conventional eggs and a broad range of specialty shell eggs, such as cage-free, organic, brown, free-range, pasture-raised, and nutritionally enhanced varieties. Cal-Maine Foods markets its products under various brand names, including Egg-Land's Best, Land O' Lakes, Farmhouse Eggs, Sunups, Sunny Meadow, 4-Grain, MeadowCreek Foods, and Crepini. Beyond shell eggs, the company has expanded into the prepared foods sector, offering products like pre-cooked egg patties, omelets, hard-cooked eggs, pancakes, waffles, and specialty wraps. Its products are primarily sold to grocery-store chains, club stores, and foodservice distributors across the southwestern, southeastern, mid-western, and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States.

Led by CEO and President Sherman Miller, Cal-Maine Foods maintains its position as the largest egg producer in the U.S., accounting for approximately 20% of all commercially produced eggs as of 2025. The company is strategically expanding its vertically integrated platform, focusing on high-margin specialty eggs and prepared foods to meet evolving consumer demand. Recent developments include the acquisition of a broiler processing plant from Tyson Foods in March 2024 and the acquisition of Creighton Brothers LLC in March 2026. While facing market challenges, as reflected in its Q3 Fiscal 2026 results with reduced net sales and income, specialty eggs and prepared foods now constitute a significant portion of its sales. The company is also cooperating with a Justice Department probe into egg price increases and recently settled a 2020 Texas lawsuit by donating over two million eggs to food banks.
