Distinguishing Features and Competitive Position
The time to market of Eggology's products has been a distinguishing factor for the company. In the case of the egg white products, they are shipped within hours of the eggs initially being laid, with no storage period before processing. The safety of the main egg white product has also been a factor in increasing sales. A USDA inspector retains an office on the Eggology premises and the company's inspection routine significantly exceeds government mandates.
There are conflicting reports as to the position of Eggology in the organic egg products market. In a 2002 government report, the two major suppliers where noted as Primera Foods and Organic Valley without mentioning Eggology. However, in a 2006 ice cream industry report, Eggology is referred to as "the leading all natural egg white company". This apparent discrepancy may be due to the growth of the company over the intervening four years, as evidenced by the government report noting 2001 revenue as US$1.6 million while the company revenue for 2007 was more than five times this figure.

Famous quotes containing the words features, competitive and/or position:
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“Women of my age in America are at the mercy of two powerful and antagonistic traditions. The first is the ultradomestic fifties with its powerful cult of motherhood; the other is the strident feminism of the seventies with its attempt to clone the male competitive model.... Only in America are these ideologies pushed to extremes.”
—Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
“Feminism, like Boston, is a state of mind. It is the state of mind of women who realize that their whole position in the social order is antiquated, as a woman cooking over an open fire with heavy iron pots would know that her entire housekeeping was out of date.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
