Up to 30 jobs will be created by the Glenrath expansion close to its Millennium Farm.
The full application for a 1.9 hectare site in a disused quarry adjacent to the A703 was passed by the local authority's planning department under delegated powers.
Neither the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency or Scottish Natural Heritage opposed the new factory.
And the council received no individual objections from nearby residents.
The expansion is seen as yet another step forward for a company which was started by John and Catherine Campbell as a farm diversity project in the 1960s, and is now Europe's largest egg provider.
A spokesman for Glenrath said: "Glenrath Farms Limited have identified a need to supply Scottish produced pasteurised liquid egg products to the food manufacturing industry.
The company are ideally placed to do this at their Millennium Farm site, as the site contains the company's egg grading and packing facilities.
"Eggs from the farm can be transported directly to the adjacent proposed egg processing facility without the need for transport on the road network."
The 80 metre long factory will be hidden from passing traffic by the existing landscape as well as additional planting.
Work is expected to start at Millennium Farm later this year.
