Liquid Whole Egg

Liquid whole egg is a processed egg product made from the contents of intact chicken eggs. The whites and yolks are separated, mixed, and pasteurized to ensure safety. It is often used as a convenient alternative to fresh eggs in food manufacturing.

Manufacturers use liquid whole egg as a binder, emulsifier, and source of protein and fat. It contributes to the texture, richness, and structure of baked goods like cookies, cakes, and pastries. It is also found in pasta, batters, and some dairy-based desserts.

Liquid whole egg is considered a whole food ingredient. The FDA recognizes eggs as a source of protein and nutrients. Major health organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not specifically evaluated liquid whole egg as a food additive. Consumption of eggs is generally considered safe as part of a balanced diet, though individuals with specific health concerns should consult a healthcare provider.
