CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- For more than a decade, Eggland's Best (EB) has been recognized by Chefs in America with "The American Masters of Taste" Gold Medal Seal for having superior taste, freshness and appearance. This prestigious award spans the Eggland's Best portfolio, honoring EB Classic Eggs, Organic Eggs, Cage-Free Eggs, and Hard-Cooked Eggs. Each product was blindly judged and named superior compared to other products within its category.

"At Chefs in America, it's no surprise that we love Eggland's Best products," said Christina Washington, VP of Endorsements for Chefs in America. "Eggland's Best consistently receives high scores from our culinary experts because they always deliver the highest quality taste and freshness compared to other eggs in the category."

Chefs In America draws from a nationwide network of professional chefs to conduct year-round triple blind taste tests on a myriad of foodservice and retail grocery products.

"It's an honor to continue to receive the Gold Medal for Superior Taste from 'The American Masters of Taste' for more than a decade," said Charlie Lanktree, CEO of Eggland's Best. "At Eggland's Best, we take great pride in ensuring that every product delivers the highest quality taste, freshness and nutrition."

"Awards like 'The American Masters of Taste' are extremely beneficial for consumers because they draw attention to top quality products, making it easier for consumers to select the best options available," said Dawn Jackson Blatner, Registered Dietician and Nutritionist. "I only recommend EB eggs to my clients and serve them to my family because of their consistently great taste and superior nutrition compared to ordinary eggs."

Compared to ordinary eggs, EB 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. EB eggs are also an excellent source of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and vitamin B5. EB's superior nutritional profile 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.
