What it is

Whole egg powder is made by drying whole eggs. The drying process removes water, creating a shelf-stable powder that can be reconstituted with water to resemble liquid eggs. It is used as a convenient alternative to fresh eggs in various food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use whole egg powder as a binder, emulsifier, and source of protein and fat. It contributes to texture, richness, and browning in baked goods like cookies and biscuits, as well as in frozen meals and noodles.

Health notes

Whole egg powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated egg products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming whole egg powder at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Whole egg powder is derived from eggs, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
