What it is

Egg protein is the protein found in eggs, primarily from egg whites. It is separated from egg yolks and other egg components through processing, often involving drying and purification to create a concentrated powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add egg protein as a source of complete protein, which contains all essential amino acids. It is commonly found in sports nutrition products like protein powders and bars, as well as in some baked goods and dairy alternatives to boost protein content.

Health notes

Egg protein is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a highly digestible source of protein, important for muscle repair and growth. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated egg protein, and it is widely consumed without adverse effects at typical dietary levels. No significant controversies exist regarding its use in food.

Allergen info

Egg protein is derived from eggs, which are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
