What it is

Powdered whole eggs are dried eggs that have had the water removed. They are made from fresh eggs that are pasteurized, then spray-dried or drum-dried to create a powder. This process extends shelf life and makes them easier to store and transport.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use powdered whole eggs as a binder, emulsifier, and source of protein and leavening in baked goods. They are commonly found in cookies, cakes, breads, and snack items where they contribute to texture and structure.

Health notes

Powdered whole eggs are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. JECFA has evaluated eggs and egg products. Like fresh eggs, they can be a source of cholesterol, but dietary cholesterol's impact on blood cholesterol is considered minimal for most people by current dietary guidelines.

Allergen info

Powdered whole eggs are derived from eggs, which are one of the FDA's nine major food allergens. They do not contain gluten.
