USDA NASS reports the national frozen-egg holdings every month, in pounds, back to 1990. Shell eggs are not frozen, so they are not held in cold storage: this is a frozen-egg-product pipeline read, not the shell-egg supply gauge. For shell-egg supply see the weekly inventory pages. A build in frozen holdings is a pipeline cushion, a draw is the pipeline tightening, and it reads as context around the shell-egg benchmark rather than a price signal in its own right. ## About this data - Source: USDA NASS, Cold Storage - Series: Frozen egg product in cold storage, total frozen eggs - Geography: National - Unit: lb - Calculation period: End-of-month stocks - Last observation: Jul 31, 2026 - Update frequency: Monthly --- Cite: US frozen egg cold storage (total frozen eggs) stood at 25.7M lb as of Jul 31, 2026 (USDA NASS).
