Baedal Minjok announced on July 16 that Baemin B Mart will begin selling imported fresh eggs.
This move aligns with the government's policy to stabilize prices of agricultural and livestock products during the summer. The government is importing fresh eggs from Brazil and the United States to reduce consumer costs.
Baemin B Mart will offer white eggs from Brazil and plans to introduce U.S. eggs in the future. Starting today, Brazilian eggs will be available, with U.S. eggs to follow.
All imported eggs have passed hygiene certifications from their respective governments, as well as thorough inspections by South Korea's Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has also conducted detailed inspections to ensure compliance with food safety standards.
The Brazilian eggs brought in by Baemin are certified A-grade extra-large white eggs by the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA), weighing at least 61.42 grams each, which meets the domestic XL (extra-large) standard. The upcoming U.S. eggs will be A-grade large size products from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), weighing at least 56.7 grams each.
The price is set at 4,990 won for a pack of 30 eggs, with an initial supply of approximately 23,000 cartons.
A Baemin representative stated, "We hope that the sale of these imported eggs will help alleviate the burden of food prices for consumers." They added, "We will continue to expand the supply of imported eggs and strive to provide customers with a variety of fresh products at reasonable prices quickly and conveniently."
