What it is

Large eggs are the unfertilized eggs laid by hens, specifically chickens. They consist of a yolk, albumen (egg white), and a shell. These eggs are a common food source globally.

Why it's used

Eggs are used in many packaged foods for their functional properties, such as binding ingredients, leavening baked goods, and emulsifying mixtures. They also contribute protein and flavor to products like pasta, baked goods, and sauces.

Health notes

Eggs are considered a whole food and are not regulated as a food additive by the FDA. They are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Historically, there have been discussions about dietary cholesterol in eggs and its impact on heart health; current scientific understanding suggests that for most healthy individuals, dietary cholesterol has a smaller effect on blood cholesterol levels than saturated and trans fats.

Allergen info

Eggs are one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
