What it is
Frozen egg yolks are the liquid center of eggs that have been separated from the whites and then frozen. They are a source of fat and protein, and contribute to richness and emulsification in food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add frozen egg yolks to provide richness, color, and emulsifying properties, helping to bind ingredients like oil and water. They are commonly found in puddings, custards, baked goods such as croissants and muffins, and some yogurt products.
Health notes
Frozen egg yolks are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of nutrients like choline and vitamin D. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated egg products, and EFSA has also assessed egg lysozyme, a component sometimes derived from eggs. Typical consumption of eggs and egg products is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Egg is one of the 9 major food allergens recognized by the FDA. Therefore, frozen egg yolks are considered a major allergen.
