Pasteurized Organic Whole Egg

Pasteurized organic whole eggs are eggs from hens raised on certified organic feed without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Pasteurization is a process of heating the eggs to a specific temperature for a set time to kill harmful bacteria, making them safer for consumption. The eggs include the yolk and the white, retaining their natural nutrients and flavor.

Manufacturers use pasteurized organic whole eggs as a binder, emulsifier, and source of protein and richness in a variety of foods. They are common in baked goods, pasta, sauces, and frozen meals, contributing to texture, structure, and flavor.

Eggs are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers eggs to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Dietary cholesterol from eggs has been a topic of discussion, but current research suggests that for most healthy individuals, dietary cholesterol has a smaller impact on blood cholesterol levels than previously thought. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated eggs and their components in various contexts.
