These 5 fast food giants dont use real whole eggs in their breakfasts: report

What the cluck?Several of the country’s biggest fast food franchises don’t use “real whole eggs” in their breakfast meals, a suprising new report claims.Fox Business identified the purported perpetrators in an investigation published on Tuesday, while also naming the big restaurants that do serve up whole eggs — and the findings might shock you.According to the outlet, “the U.S.

Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) notes food manufacturers often use pasteurized egg products because of their convenience and ease in handling and storing,” making the practice completely above board.While Starbucks says its breakfast sandwich contains “whole eggs,” Fox Business claims “the long list of additives” means they can’t technically be categorized as “100% real eggs.”The additives reportedly include “water, soybean oil, modified food starch, whey solids and citric acid.”Meanwhile, the publication claims Dunkin’ similarly advertises the use of “real whole eggs” in a variety of breakfast items.However, that classification is “in the eye of the beholder” due to additives in the eggs such as water, modified corn starch, xanthan gum and citric acid.

Meanwhile, Subway’s eggs contain additives including dextrose, guar gum, propylene glycol and glycerin, per Fox Business.The fast food giant has committed to transitioning to eggs from cage-free hens, but has not fully done so “due to the limited supply at present.”Chick-fil-A is similarly working toward serving 100% cage-free eggs, but admits its egg products are currently made from eggs, water and other additives.

Fox Business identifies Burger King as the fifth fast food franchise forgoing the serving of 100% whole eggs.The egg products included in their breakfasts are allegedly a “liquid egg-pasteurized mixture containing a number of additives.”However, the report did name five companies that do use 100% whole eggs for breakfast.
