What is a egg free diet?

Following an egg-free diet means that you exclude eggs in all forms, including in baked goods and as an ingredient in other foods. While an egg allergy usually refers to eggs from chickens, you may also need to avoid eggs from other birds such as ducks, geese, and quail.

Eggs are often used in cooking and baking because of their material properties. But what if you can’t eat them? While following an egg-free diet may seem overwhelming at first, luckily, many foods can replace eggs from a culinary and nutritional standpoint!

There are also a number of egg-containing ingredients to watch out for including (but not limited to):

- Albumin
- Apovitellin
- Globulin
- Lecithin
- Livetin
- Lysozyme
- Vitellin
- Anything containing the prefixes “ova” or “ovo”


How to follow an egg-free diet?

While an egg-free diet may sound self-explanatory, there are some things to keep in mind. Eggs can hide in things that you wouldn’t expect like foods that have an egg wash coated on the surface to add a shine, such as bagels, brioche, and pretzels. Eggs may also be in pasta and pizza dough, pancakes, waffles, baking mixes, chips, crackers, and soups.

Since eggs are commonly used as an emulsifier, they can be found in some salad dressings, mayonnaise, sauces, dips, ice creams, puddings, and custards to stabilise them and prevent separation.

Eggs also function as a binder in some burgers, veggie burgers, meatloaf, meatballs, processed meats, and meat alternatives. Foods that are breaded or fried (such as breaded chicken cutlets and mozzarella sticks) may contain egg as part of the batter or to help breading adhere to the food. Additionally, marshmallows, meringue, marzipan, frostings, and even specialty alcoholic beverages with egg foam on top are just a few of the many surprising places where eggs may be hiding.
