United States · Shares traded on Nasdaq (CALM)
Cal-Maine Foods is a US egg producer founded in 1957 by Fred R. Adams, Jr. in Jackson, Mississippi, and now based in Ridgeland, Mississippi. It is a public company whose shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker CALM. It serves retail and foodservice customers with eggs from different hen housing systems and a growing range of prepared foods, built up partly through acquisitions such as Echo Lake Foods and the Van's Foods business.
The core business is shell eggs: conventional, cage-free, organic and free-range eggs, graded by weight and packed for supermarkets and foodservice. Housing system matters to buyers because many retailers set their own sourcing rules for cage-free or free-range eggs. Cal-Maine also processes eggs into hard-cooked eggs, omelets, scrambled eggs and other ready-to-eat breakfast foods. Processing of this kind adds value to egg supply and gives foodservice customers products that are quick to prepare and easy to portion.

## Size of the business

Cal-Maine Foods' net sales were approximately USD 2,911.6 million in the financial year ended 30 May 2026, covering shell eggs, prepared foods and the group's other operations.
