Rembrandt Enterprises

Rembrandt Enterprises (REI) is an American company, headquartered in Spirit Lake, Iowa. The company is named after its most prominent egg operation in Rembrandt, Iowa; one of the world's largest in-line egg producing and further processing facilities. Ground was broken in 2000 and Rembrandt Foods shipped its first order in 2001. They now offer a wide variety of egg products in dried, liquid, frozen, pre-cooked and hard-cooked formats. Rembrandt Foods has a dedicated pilot plant, lab and test kitchen at its headquarters. REI has come under controversy multiple times for slaughtering chickens inhumanely and en masse, as well as treating their workers terribly. In 2021 they cut off the air circulation and pumped in extra heat to cruelly suffocate 5.3 million birds at 104 degrees F. This was an effort to contain an outbreak of avion flu. After the workers disposed of millions of dead birds on behalf of REI, they were unceremoniously fired and the plant closed. There were also many reports of REI not providing safe working conditions for people during COVID, as well as recruiting workers from other factories by not requiring vaccinations as a benefit.

REI is a legacy company of Taylor Corporation based in North Mankato, Minnesota.
