World Egg Day 2023 will be celebrated worldwide on Friday, October 13th, as announced by PoultryWorld. This year's theme, "Eggs for a Healthy Future," highlights the power of eggs in improving nutritional, societal, and environmentally sustainable outcomes, leading to a healthier future for all.

"World Egg Day celebrates the egg as an incredibly unique, accessible, and affordable source of essential proteins and nutrients," said Greg Hinton, President of the International Egg Commission. "This year, we want to shed light on the important nutritional attributes of eggs, as well as their versatility, showing how they can be enjoyed in a wide variety of ways, at any time of day, all around the world."

He continued, "Eggs can combat common nutrient deficiencies, which are often overlooked but are essential for optimal health and performance. Beyond their nutritional powers, eggs are also one of the most sustainable animal protein sources. Eggs have the potential to play an increasingly important role, bringing benefits to both people and the planet – all the more reason to celebrate eggs with us this year!"

World Egg Day takes place on the second Friday of October each year, and since the first event in 1996, the celebrations have grown and evolved.

Last year, over 100 countries around the globe celebrated World Egg Day on social media, as well as the return of in-person events after the pandemic, including competitions, digital campaigns, and festivals to mark the special day.
