What it is

Eggs are laid by female birds, most commonly chickens for food production. The egg consists of a protective shell, albumen (egg white), and vitellus (egg yolk). They are a natural source of protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals.

Why it's used

Eggs and egg yolks are used in foods as binders, emulsifiers, and thickeners. They contribute to richness, color, and flavor. They are commonly found in baked goods, dressings, mayonnaise, pasta, and ice cream.

Health notes

Eggs are a nutrient-dense food. The FDA considers eggs to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Major health organizations, including the WHO and EFSA, have evaluated eggs and their components. While eggs contain cholesterol, current dietary guidelines suggest that cholesterol in food has less impact on blood cholesterol levels than previously thought for most people.

Allergen info

Eggs are one of the 9 major food allergens identified by the FDA. People with an egg allergy should avoid products containing eggs or egg derivatives.
