Eggland's Best eggs

Eggland's Best Eggs have been around for more than a decade, but consumers' ever-increasing awareness of health issues and interest in specialty products is giving the company that produces them a definite sales boost. The reason that the interest in Eggland's Best is growing is that their eggs have some impressive nutritional statistics. They contain 25% less saturated fat, almost 20% less cholesterol and seven times more vitamin E than there is in an ordinary egg. They also have triple the amount of the heart-healthy Omega 3 fatty acids, at 100 mg per egg. These differences from ordinary eggs start by feeding Eggland chickens, which are antibiotic and hormone-free, a patented, natural, all-vegetarian feed.

Eggland's eggs can be used in recipes just like ordinary eggs and are recognizable by an "EB" stamped on each egg. If you want to give them a try, check to see if there is a retailer near you.

"Eggland's Best eggs are subjected to the most rigorous testing in the industry. Data from more than 30,000 tests yearly since 1996 confirm that Eggland's Best eggs consistently exceed the company's specifications for lower cholesterol, lower saturated fat, higher levels of Omega 3, higher levels of vitamin E and iodine, lower fat total, yolk color, shell quality and freshness."

So, looks like maybe they leared a lesson after being fined by the FTC in '96?
