What it is

Rehydrated egg white is made from dried egg whites that have had water added back to them. Egg whites are the clear liquid part of an egg, primarily composed of protein and water.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use rehydrated egg whites as a binder and emulsifier, helping to hold ingredients together and create a smoother texture. They are often found in processed meat products like frozen patties, burgers, and vegetarian meat alternatives.

Health notes

Rehydrated egg white is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated egg products, and no specific concerns are noted at typical consumption levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from its use in food.

Allergen info

Egg is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Therefore, rehydrated egg white is considered a major allergen.
