What it is

Yolk Mix is a blend of egg yolks and often other ingredients like sugar, corn syrup, and salt. It is derived from chicken eggs and is used to provide richness, color, and emulsifying properties in food products. The specific composition can vary by manufacturer.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Yolk Mix to add a rich, creamy texture and a yellow color to foods. It acts as an emulsifier, helping to bind ingredients like oil and water, and contributes to a smooth mouthfeel. It is commonly found in puddings, custards, baked goods like croissants and muffins, and yogurt.

Health notes

Yolk Mix is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Egg yolks are a source of nutrients like choline and vitamin D. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated egg products, but specific evaluations of 'Yolk Mix' as a distinct ingredient are less common. Concerns about dietary cholesterol from egg yolks exist, but current research suggests dietary cholesterol has a less significant impact on blood cholesterol for most people than previously thought.

Allergen info

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