CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J.,
Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- After a rigorous evaluation process by the Good
Housekeeping Institute's Nutrition Lab, Eggland's Best (EB) shell
eggs have been recognized with the Good Housekeeping Nutritionist
Approved Emblem for their verified superior nutrition. Compared to
ordinary eggs, EB eggs contain 25% less saturated fat, six times
more vitamin D, more than double the vitamin B12 and omega-3s, and
10X more vitamin E, which is due to Eggland's Best's proprietary
all-vegetarian hen feed.
The Good Housekeeping Nutritionist Approved Emblem was developed
to help consumers lead healthier lives by empowering them to make
informed food choices. Not only does the emblem provide a solution
for those looking to be more health-conscious, but the products
selected are also practical and evoke the tried-and-tested
assurance of the Good Housekeeping brand in the food space. The
Nutrition Lab assesses food products based on specific nutritional
criteria as well as taste, simplicity, convenience and
transparency.
"The Good Housekeeping Institute is committed to providing
consumers with evidence-based nutrition content and recommendations
that can help shoppers make smarter choices and maximize their
personal health and wellbeing," said Good Housekeeping Institute's
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Stefani Sassos MS, RDN,
CSO, CDN. "While evaluating EB eggs, we were able to verify that
Eggland's Best contains superior nutrition such as double the
omega-3 fatty acids and six times more vitamin D compared to
ordinary eggs. Incorporating Eggland's Best eggs into your diet is
a simple and delicious way to ensure you and your family are
obtaining essential vitamins and nutrients."
"We are thrilled to have our superior nutrition verified by the
Good Housekeeping Institute and be granted the Good Housekeeping
Nutritionist Approved Emblem," said Charlie
Lanktree, CEO of Eggland's Best. "Eggland's Best aims to
provide shoppers with the only eggs that offer better taste,
freshness, and nutrition, and this emblem is a testament to that
commitment."
Eggland's Best eggs also contain a variety of micronutrients
that can help support a healthy immune system. Most micronutrients
are not produced in the body and must be derived from the diet.
"The Good Housekeeping Nutritionist Approved Emblem is a great
tool for consumers looking for the most nutritious options, such as
EB eggs, while scanning the aisles at the grocery store," said
Marissa Meshulam, Registered
Dietitian Nutritionist, and founder of MPM Nutrition. "I only
recommend Eggland's Best eggs to my clients because they taste
great and also offer a mix of micronutrients that support immune
health so my clients and I can feel our absolute best."
Compared to ordinary eggs, Eggland's Best eggs contain six times
more vitamin D, 25% less saturated fat, more than double the
Omega-3s, ten times more vitamin E, and more than double the
vitamin B12. The superior nutrition of Eggland's Best is due to its
proprietary all-vegetarian hen feed that contains healthy grains,
canola oil and a wholesome supplement of rice bran, alfalfa, sea
kelp and Vitamin E. In addition, independent testing has revealed
that Eggland's Best eggs have stronger shells than ordinary eggs,
which leads to less breakage and helps them stay fresher longer.
Eggland's Best's patented method of production and verification
ensures that every Eggland's Best egg has these superior
qualities.
Eggland's Best eggs have been the recipient of more than 100
awards and honors for the product's superior taste, nutrition,
freshness and variety. For more information on Eggland's Best eggs
