Avian influenza cases and egg prices are on the rise across the country, but the timeline for a national egg producer’s planned Pasco facility won’t be affected. 

In November 2024, Versova bought the former Reser’s Fine Foods facility at 5310 Industrial Way in Pasco with plans to remodel it for an egg processing facility over the next 12 to 18 months. 

Plans for the Pasco facility are still on track, said Versova spokeswoman Hinda Mitchell in a March 9 email to the Tri-Cities Area Journal of Business.  

The more than 110,000-square-foot facility is set to become a hub for grading, cleaning and packaging eggs for the consumer market.
