YES and everyone should be using them for all items that do not reach 160 F. Item such as sunny-side up fried eggs, over easy eggs, Caesar dressing, meringue and mayonnaise. They are made by the Davison's Egg company and you find them in most higher end supermarkets. Would you even think of drinking unpasteurized milk? Then why would you eat unpasteurized eggs?
Most farms don't pasteurize. The process is expensive, time consuming and fails often. Large operators do sometimes have the approved equipment and it involves a series of ascending heat treatments in a specific solution of chemicals. The small to average producer would just end up cooking the egg rendering it useless for market.
Egg production is most often found on chicken farms that can vary in size. Large chicken farms such as Purdue, also produce eggs.

There are egg production farms everywhere. Most major agricultural areas have them in various locations where trucks collect eggs daily for transport to central processing companies.
No, Commercial eggs are produced on large commercial egg farms. Millions of eggs per day are produced and sold in North America alone. Pullets are produced at hatcheries to replace layers that have completed their egg laying lives. Home grown chickens are found on small family farms in almost every rural community.
The brand names are Quality Egg , Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms ~ see related link below to the news article .
No. It will not work, the eggs shell color is not a result of anything you feed the hens. You can influence the color of the egg yolk from pale yellow to pumpkin orange and that is done in all large egg farms because consumers like an egg with just the right amount of orange color in it, but a white egg layer will always lay white eggs a brown egg layer will forever lay brown eggs. If it were even remotely possible to change the color of the egg shell. Poultry Companies and farms would change them every Easter and make millions selling colored eggs.
The eggs we buy at the store are usually from corporate farms. The hens are not allowed to be with a rooster so the eggs are infertile - meaning that there is no chick inside the shell.
Often refered to as the "nest egg" these artificial eggs are used to replace eggs in the nest of a broody hen. They can also be used to show new pullets where the laying nest is. Some farms use rock or golf balls as nest eggs.

Almost all eggs sold to customers in grocery stores have not been pasteurized. However, new time/temperature pasteurization methods are making this possible. Egg whites coagulate at 140°F (60°C). Therefore, heating an egg above 140°F would cook the egg, so processors pasteurize the egg in the shell at a low temperature, 130°F (54°C), for a long time, 45 minutes. Pasteurizing eggs reduces the risk of contamination from pathogenic bacteria, such as Salmonella, which can cause severe illness and even death. Pasteurized eggs in the shell may be used in recipes calling for raw eggs, such as Caesar salad, hollandaise or bé arnaise sauces, mayonnaise, egg nog, ice cream, and egg-fortified beverages that are not thoroughly cooked.
I have never seen chicken eggs so wild and crazy that they needed to be caged. But seriously, nearly all egg farms are now finding ways to get their layer hens out of cages and into large barn settings to produce their eggs.
