What it is

Liquid egg yolk is the yellow, fatty part of an egg, separated from the egg white. It is typically pasteurized to ensure safety and extend shelf life. It is a natural source of fat, protein, and lecithin.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add liquid egg yolk as an emulsifier, binder, and for its rich flavor and color. It is commonly found in mayonnaise, salad dressings, baked goods like cakes and brownies, and sauces.

Health notes

Liquid egg yolk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of nutrients like choline and vitamin D. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated egg products. While egg yolks are a source of dietary cholesterol, current dietary guidelines suggest cholesterol intake has less impact on blood cholesterol levels for most people than previously thought.

Allergen info

Egg is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Liquid egg yolk is derived from eggs and is therefore a major allergen.
