Pasteurized Liquid Eggs

Pasteurized liquid eggs are whole eggs that have been removed from their shells, mixed, and then heated to kill bacteria like Salmonella. This process makes them safer for consumption and easier to use in food production. They are essentially liquid eggs ready for immediate use.

Manufacturers use pasteurized liquid eggs as a binder, emulsifier, and source of protein and richness in baked goods like cakes and cupcakes, as well as in frozen appetizers and prepared meals. Their liquid form allows for easier and more consistent incorporation into recipes compared to whole eggs.

Pasteurized liquid eggs are considered a safe and common food ingredient by the FDA. They are a natural source of protein and various nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated eggs and egg products. Consuming eggs as part of a balanced diet is generally considered healthy, though some individuals may have specific dietary restrictions or allergies.
