Who's behind EggWire
The short version: one person, inside this industry, telling you up front what that does and does not mean.
Who runs this
EggWire is built and run by one person who works in the egg industry.
Not a media company, and not a software company that picked agriculture off a list. It exists because checking fifteen sources by hand every morning still meant finding things out late.
Working inside the industry cuts both ways, and the honest version is that it is a conflict as well as a qualification. So the test should not be who runs it. It should be whether you can check the work — and you can, on every story.
What stops this being biased
- Every source is published. All 45 of them are listed on the sources page, with the outlet named on every story. Nothing is drawn from a private channel, and nothing arrives here that you could not have found yourself.
- Nothing is dropped — but some stories are held for review. There
is no blocklist. There is a review queue: coverage naming a
company this business has a relationship with waits for a person before
it publishes, rather than going out automatically. That is disclosed in
full on the legal page, and it delays a story — it
never buries one.
Recalls and HPAI detections are never held. They publish immediately whatever the review list says. A queue that can sit on a detection is not a review queue, it is a gag, and it would put your flock at risk to protect someone's feelings. - Nothing here comes from anyone's day job. No information learned as an employee of any company has ever been, or will be, published on EggWire. Every story traces to a public source you can open yourself.
- Separate company. EggWire LLC is a Michigan limited liability company, independently owned. It is not a subsidiary of, funded by, or operated on behalf of any egg producer.
Your data
Nothing about you is sold, rented, or shared with anyone. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone in this industry. There is no such arrangement and there will not be one.
Who reads what is never revealed — not to another subscriber, not to a company we cover, not to anyone. In an industry this small, which producer is reading about which outbreak is nobody else's business.
To run an account, EggWire stores your email address, your alert preferences and the states you follow, and your subscription status. Payment details are handled entirely by Stripe and never touch our servers. The site records which stories you have opened — only to enforce free-tier limits and to know whether alerts are actually arriving. It is never used to build a profile and never disclosed.
There are no third-party trackers, no advertising pixels, and no cross-site tracking of any kind. Cancel whenever you like: your account and its data go with it.
Where the money goes
This is a small business, not a venture-funded one. The person who runs it gives half of what he takes out of EggWire to his church and to Christian charities. That is a personal commitment rather than a marketing programme — your subscription buys you the product, and what happens to the profit afterwards is simply what he does with it.
How the stories get here
EggWire monitors published sources — government agencies, trade press, company announcements and SEC filings — and checks them every fifteen minutes. Stories are summarised automatically and always link to the original outlet, which keeps the credit and the traffic.
Government material is public domain and may appear in full. Everything else is summarised and linked, never republished.
When we get it wrong
Automated summarisation makes mistakes, and so do people. If a story here is wrong, tell us and we will correct or remove it — say which story and what is wrong with it. We would rather be corrected than be quietly inaccurate in front of an industry that knows better.
We do not publish unverified detections. If a report cannot be traced to a primary source, it does not run, even when it would be the most interesting thing on the page that day.
