I have been told that these eggs, stored for Gray Ridge Egg Farms, were imported from the United States.
Although the documents from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency are heavily censored to protect the guilty, it's clear that the eggs were in bad shape because the CFIA ordered them rewashed before they could be sent for breaking at a processing plant.
I learned from a previous interview with Harry Pelissero, general manager of the Egg Farmers of Ontario marketing board, that farmers footed the bill to divert these eggs from the table to the processing market.
These eggs were "found" by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency - after a tip with pictures - in early February, 2010, raising a question in my mind whether they were imported on a supplementary import permit in late 2009.
