What it is
Dried egg product is made from whole eggs, egg whites, or egg yolks that have had most of the water removed. This is typically done through spray drying, drum drying, or freeze drying. The resulting product is a powder that is shelf-stable and easier to transport than liquid eggs.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dried egg products as a binder, emulsifier, or leavening agent. They are also used to add richness and flavor. You can find them in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pastries, as well as in processed meats, pasta, and some dairy products.
Health notes
Dried egg products are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Eggs are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not identified specific health concerns related to the consumption of dried egg products at typical levels.
Allergen info
Egg is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Dried egg product is derived from eggs and therefore contains this major allergen.
