Presented herein are methods of treating egg products to increase shelf
life, which include treating the egg products with high pressure. In
addition, the egg products may be pasteurized before, during, or after
the pressure-treatment. Optionally, the egg products may include one or
more antimicrobial agents and/or acidifying agents. The method may be
useful for producing a packaged egg product that has an extended shelf
life as determined by bacteria population density in the product and/or
organoleptic properties.
