An egg-free diet involves eliminating eggs and egg-derived ingredients from all foods, including baked goods and processed products. While eggs from chickens are most common allergens, some individuals may also need to avoid eggs from other birds such as ducks, geese, and quail.

Eggs are frequently used in cooking and baking due to their functional properties. Adapting to an egg-free diet can initially seem challenging; however, many foods have suitable substitutes that fulfill both culinary and nutritional roles. Awareness of ingredients containing eggs is essential; these include but are not limited to albumin, apovitellin, globulin, lecithin, livetin, lysozyme, vitellin, along with any components prefixed with “ova” or “ovo.”

Implementing an egg-free diet requires vigilance since eggs can be hidden in various foods beyond obvious sources. Common items where eggs may be present include foods coated with egg wash such as bagels, brioche, and pretzels; pasta and pizza dough; pancake and waffle mixes; chips; crackers; soups; salad dressings; mayonnaise; sauces; dips; ice creams; puddings; custards; as well as meat products like burgers and processed meats where eggs serve as binders or stabilizers.

Breaded or fried foods—including breaded chicken cutlets and mozzarella sticks—may contain egg as part of the batter or coating. Additional hidden sources include marshmallows, meringues, marzipan, frostings, and certain cocktails featuring egg foam. Awareness of these potential allergens can help maintain a truly egg-free dietary routine.
