CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For over two decades, Eggland's Best has been recognized as the gold standard in eggs, earning the coveted 'Recommended' Certification from the American Vegetarian Association (AVA) once again. The honor highlights the brand's commitment to superior quality, taste, and nutrition, as it continues to shine as the AVA's only 'recommended' egg—a testament to the brand's unparalleled excellence in meeting the needs of vegetarian and health-focused consumers nationwide.

"Eggland's Best continues to be a leader in the egg industry, and their ongoing AVA Recommended Certification is proof of their dedication to maintaining the highest standards of quality and nutrition," said Len Torine, Founder & Senior Advisor at American Vegetarian Association. "The brand has consistently demonstrated a commitment to offering vegetarian-friendly products that align with our mission of promoting a healthy, sustainable lifestyle."

The American Vegetarian Association was founded to champion vegetarian values and support the development and availability of vegetarian-friendly products. At its core, the AVA's mission is to offer a reliable certification that empowers consumers to confidently select the best vegetarian options to suit their unique lifestyles and nutritional needs.

Compared to ordinary eggs, Eggland's Best eggs contain six times more Vitamin D, 25% less saturated fat, more than double the Omega-3s, 10 times more Vitamin E, and more than double the Vitamin B12. The superior nutrition in Eggland's Best eggs 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.

"The American Vegetarian Association's 'Recommended' Certification is a meaningful recognition for Eggland's Best, as it acknowledges their commitment to offering a vegetarian-friendly product that delivers superior nutrition and quality," said Dawn Jackson Blatner, Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist. "As a dietitian, I recommend Eggland's Best eggs because they have more nutrition compared to ordinary eggs so it's an easy way to get a boost of nutrients for vegetarian and health-conscious families alike."
