The Incredible Inedible Egg with Ingmar Middelbos of Symrise
Episode 36
Friday, 17 October, 2025
Unfortunately, not all eggs that get produced make it onto supermarket shelves. Producers try to sort out eggs that are broken or misshapen, hatcheries discard infertile eggs, and breaker operations need to deal with broken yolks or excess fluid left in shells. So what happens to that stream of waste egg products that still have nutritional value, but are deemed to be unfit for human consumption? Ingmar Middelbos is the Global R&D Director for Animal Nutrition at Symrise Pet Food. Symrise partners with producers across the US and abroad to collect discarded egg products that would otherwise end up in landfills, and turn it into nutritious food for pets. Ingmar joins us today to discuss the origins of the inedible egg business, why the industry creates such a consistent waste stream, and the potential future applications for inedible egg products.
