Whole Egg Powder

Whole egg powder is made by drying whole eggs. The process removes water, creating a shelf-stable powder that retains the nutritional components of fresh eggs. It is used as a convenient alternative to liquid eggs in various food products.

Manufacturers use whole egg powder as a binder, emulsifier, and source of protein and fat. It helps improve texture and stability in baked goods like cookies and cakes, and is also found in mixes for convenience.

Whole egg powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It provides nutritional benefits similar to fresh eggs. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated egg products, but specific evaluations of whole egg powder's health effects at typical consumption levels are limited.
