On September 5, USAPEEC and the American Egg Board officially launched U.S. shell eggs, together with locally manufactured products made with U.S. eggs, at FairPrice Finest, The Woodleigh Mall. The launch marked the first large-scale retail rollout of U.S. shell eggs in Singapore since their return after more than two decades, with the eggs stocked across 51 FairPrice outlets (43 FairPrice Finest supermarkets and eight hypermarkets).
The launch was attended by Alicia Hernandez, Regional Agricultural Counselor, USDA Foreign Agricultural Service; Adrian Kang, Director, FairPrice Group; Greg Tyler, USAPEEC President & CEO; and Thomas Tan, PBM, USAPEEC ASEAN Representative. They were joined by representatives of the American Egg Board, U.S. egg producers, Singapore egg importers and local food manufacturers.

A cultural performance drew foot traffic to the launch area, and a sampling station let shoppers taste U.S. shell eggs alongside egg noodles, kaya and regionally flavored tarts made with U.S. egg ingredients. This positioned the eggs both as a premium retail product and as a functional ingredient in familiar Singapore foods.
Demand was evident before the launch itself. The importer completed initial placement across all 51 outlets on September 2, and FairPrice requested replenishment across all outlets on September 4, two days later and before any consumer publicity. Shoppers interviewed by reporters compared the U.S. eggs with other premium imported eggs, not only with conventional eggs.

The program has also moved beyond retail. The Dining Room at Sheraton Towers Singapore agreed to use U.S. eggs in a New York cheesecake, and TungLok Group agreed to adopt them across its restaurants, extending U.S. shell eggs across retail, bakery manufacturing, hospitality and dining.
The launch received at least 17 media placements across Singapore, Malaysia, India and international food-industry outlets, including The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao, Tamil Murasu and The Star.
