What it is

Frozen egg whites are the liquid part of an egg after the yolk has been removed. They are separated from the yolk and then frozen to preserve them. This process helps extend their shelf life and makes them easier to store and use.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use frozen egg whites as a source of protein and for their binding and leavening properties. They are often found in baked goods like pastries, cakes, and muffins, where they help create a lighter texture and structure. They can also be used in processed meats and as a clarifying agent.

Health notes

Frozen egg whites are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a good source of protein and contain no fat or cholesterol, unlike whole eggs. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated egg products, and they are a common food ingredient with no widespread health concerns associated with typical consumption.

Allergen info

Egg is one of the 9 FDA major food allergens. Frozen egg whites are derived from eggs and are therefore an allergen.
