History

Founded in 1980, ISE America is based in Galena, Maryland and produces eggs for retail, food service, and further processor markets, whose products include shell, hard cooked, liquid/frozen, and farms eggs, as well as pasteurized eggs. It is, also, entirely integrated, operating its own breeder, hatchery, feed mills, and pullet farms and has other offices in New Jersey and South Carolina.[4][5] In 2001, The Washington Post reported that ISE America had been accused by animal rights activists of cruelty regarding their treatment of chickens.[6][7]
