FAQs
Where does sweden import eggs?
Sweden is largely self-sufficient in shell egg production, but imports are a key part of the supply chain—particularly for processed egg products and during times of domestic shortages.
Primary egg import partners for Sweden include:
- Denmark – A key neighbor and supplier of both shell eggs and egg ingredients.
- Netherlands – A major exporter of powdered and liquid egg products to Sweden’s food manufacturing sector.
- Germany and Poland – Suppliers of competitively priced eggs and processed products.
- Finland and Estonia – Provide seasonal supply support and specialty eggs.
- United States – Exporter of high-quality egg powder and frozen egg for industrial use.
Imports are carefully monitored by Swedish Customs, Livsmedelsverket (Swedish Food Agency), and Jordbruksverket (Swedish Board of Agriculture), ensuring strict food safety and animal health compliance.

Why Does Sweden Import Eggs?
Despite strong domestic production, Sweden imports eggs and egg products to support industrial food production, ensure market stability, and fulfill consumer demand for specialty items.
Key reasons Sweden imports eggs:
- Food Manufacturing Demand
Sweden’s processed food and bakery industries require consistent, safe, and pasteurized egg products, such as liquid whole egg, egg white, and powdered egg. - Supply Volatility
In cases of avian influenza, heat stress, or high domestic demand (e.g., holiday seasons), imports help stabilize prices and ensure availability. - Product Diversity
Imports of organic, cage-free, and enriched eggs allow Swedish retailers and restaurants to offer a wider product range. - Sustainability and Cost Management
Sourcing certain processed products from high-volume international suppliers helps reduce production costs without compromising quality.
Eggs Unlimited supports Swedish buyers with EU-compliant and specialty egg products tailored to Sweden’s high standards and sustainability values.
What makes eggs in Sweden compliant?
Sweden enforces strict food safety and animal welfare regulations, aligned with EU legislation but often going further in areas such as cage-free farming and environmental protection.
1. EU Regulations Applied in Sweden
Sweden follows the EU’s legal framework, including:
- Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 – Hygiene rules for food of animal origin
- Regulation (EC) No 589/2008 – Egg marketing standards
- Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 – Salmonella control measures
Eggs must be sourced from EU-approved farms or third-country suppliers listed by the European Commission.
2. Swedish-Specific Requirements
- Sweden banned conventional battery cages before the EU mandate, and today most eggs sold are cage-free or organic.
- Livsmedelsverket oversees food imports, labeling, and product traceability.
- Imported eggs must have:
- Traceable producer code on each egg
- Packaging in Swedish, with:
- Best-before date
- Class (A or B)
- Weight grade (XL, L, M, S)
- Farming method
- Name and address of packer or distributor
- Best-before date
- Traceable producer code on each egg
3. Documentation for Imports
- Veterinary Health Certificate
- Certificate of Origin
- Compliance with HACCP and EU food law
- Organic or animal welfare certification, if applicable
Eggs Unlimited ensures all required documentation and product labeling are complete and ready for clearance into Sweden.
How much do eggs cost in Sweden?
Egg prices in Sweden are influenced by high production standards, strong consumer preference for welfare-friendly eggs, and broader EU market trends.
Main factors affecting egg prices:
- Production Standards
Sweden’s move away from caged systems and its high environmental and welfare requirements contribute to higher base costs. - Feed & Energy Costs
Fluctuations in feed (grain and soy) and energy (electricity, fuel) pricing directly impact both domestic and imported egg prices. - Retail Preferences
Swedish retailers often prioritize local, organic, or free-range products, which have a higher cost structure. - Consumer Demand
Demand increases during holidays like Easter and Christmas, temporarily raising prices. - EU Market Trends
As a part of the EU single market, Sweden’s egg prices are affected by supply/demand changes in Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, and other trading partners.
