Rembrandt Foods is closing its egg plant in Renville, Minnesota. This closure will result in 52 workers being laid off. The firm has not given a reason for the closure, however, the firm’s president stated earlier this week that the market for eggs is oversupplied. Additionally, the firm is struggling because consumers are beginning to favor cage-free eggs and many states are restricting the sale of products that do not consider animal-welfare.
