Clear Egg Labels: Ending Misleading Alternatives
New rules aim to ensure that products sold as eggs or egg products actually come from poultry. This protects consumers from being misled and helps them make informed choices, especially for those with allergies or seeking specific nutritional values.
Key points
Definition of an egg: Only the reproductive output of avian poultry, with albumen and yolk encased in a calcium-based shell, can be called an egg.
Consumer protection: Egg substitute products must be clearly labeled to avoid confusion with real eggs.
Guidance for producers: Authorities will issue detailed instructions on how to properly label products to avoid penalties.
