What it is

Cage-free eggs come from hens that are not kept in cages. Instead, they are housed in open barns or aviaries, allowing them to roam freely within their environment. This system is intended to provide more space and natural behaviors for the hens.

Why it's used

Eggs are a versatile ingredient used for binding, leavening, emulsifying, and adding richness and flavor to baked goods. They are commonly found in cakes, cookies, pastries, pasta, and custards.

Health notes

Eggs are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers eggs to be a safe and wholesome food. Major health organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated eggs and their components. Current dietary guidelines recommend including eggs as part of a balanced diet. Evidence does not suggest negative health impacts from typical consumption of eggs.

Allergen info

Eggs are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. People with an egg allergy should avoid consuming them.
