What it is
Whole dried egg is made from fresh eggs that have been dehydrated. The process typically involves removing the moisture through drying, resulting in a powdered form of the entire egg, including the yolk and white. This allows for a longer shelf life compared to fresh eggs.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use whole dried egg as a binder, emulsifier, and source of protein and fat. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies, cakes, and biscuits, as well as in frozen breakfast items and appetizers where it helps to improve texture and structure.
Health notes
In the US, whole dried egg is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for its intended purpose. It is a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dried egg products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming whole dried egg in typical amounts found in food.
Allergen info
Whole dried egg is derived from eggs, which are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
