What it is

Egg matzo is a type of unleavened bread, similar to traditional matzo, but made with eggs in addition to flour and water. The addition of eggs gives it a richer flavor and a more tender texture compared to regular matzo. It is typically baked until crisp.

Why it's used

Egg matzo is often used as a cracker or snack food, sometimes flavored with salt or herbs. Manufacturers use it in products like crackers, biscotti, and sometimes as a base for appetizers. Its crisp texture makes it suitable for dipping or topping.

Health notes

Egg matzo is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates and protein from the flour and eggs. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'egg matzo' as a distinct ingredient are not typically noted. Consuming egg matzo as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Egg matzo contains egg and wheat, both of which are among the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten from wheat. Consumers with allergies or intolerances to egg, wheat, or gluten should avoid this product.
