About Frozen egg cold storage: total frozen eggs
Cold storage is where frozen egg product sits between the breaking plant and the buyer. 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.
