Egg Nutrition Facts Labels

The Nutrition Facts label for packaged foods helps people make more informed food choices.  These labels provide information about the calories and nutrients in different sizes of eggs.  The % Daily Value (DV) tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet.

The Nutrition Facts Panel formats are for consumer use only. Members of the egg industry should refer to the Code of Federal Regulations for acceptable formats.
