What it is

Hard-cooked eggs are whole eggs that have been boiled in their shells until the yolk and white are solid. They are often peeled and can be used whole, sliced, or chopped. This cooking process makes them shelf-stable and easier to incorporate into various dishes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use hard-cooked eggs as a protein source and for their distinct flavor and texture. They are commonly found in prepared salads like potato salad and egg salad, as well as in deli platters, lunch kits, and as a topping for green salads.

Health notes

Eggs are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA considers eggs to be a safe and nutritious food. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/FAO's JECFA have evaluated eggs and their components. While eggs are a common food, some individuals may have allergies or sensitivities.

Allergen info

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