CEDAR KNOLLS, NJ, Nov. 11, 2011- Eggland's Best (EB), the No.1 branded egg in the U.S., is proud to add to its list of awards and honors the American Culinary Federation's (ACF) Seal of Approval, which applies to their entire line of consumer and food service egg products.
EB products that hold the ACF gold Seal of Approval include:
- Eggland's Best Classic Shell Eggs

- Egggland's Best Hard-Cooked and Peeled Eggs

In order to receive this prestigious endorsement, Eggland's Best
eggs undergo extensive testing by a panel of ACF-certified chefs
who evaluate EB eggs based on their ease of use, versatility and
adaptability, consistency of physical properties, application in
service procedures and, above all, flavor. The ACF Seal of Approval
assures unbiased, expert opinions on product quality for buyers,
chefs and foodservice operators.
"Throughout the country, award-winning restaurants and chefs
insist on only using Eggland's Best eggs for their dishes, because
of their great taste, and consistent performance," says Frank
Bergin, Director of Marketing at Eggland's Best. "The high quality
ingredients that go into the Eggland's Best hen feed contribute not
only to the enhanced flavor of our eggs, but also to the plumper,
creamier yolks and harder shells, that discerning chef's
demand. Plus it gives the eggs 25% less saturated fat, double
the Vitamin D and omega-3 and 10 times more vitamin E than generic
eggs."
Eggland's Best eggs are produced locally throughout the country by EB's franchised framers, who must follow the company's strict quality assurance program in order to stamp an egg with the famous "EB" logo. From raising only vegetarian-fed hens, to conducting more than 35,000 tests a year to ensure consistent quality, Eggland's Best is committed to providing its customers with eggs that are superior in freshness, taste and nutrition.
"The ACF Seal of Approval is an arduous process that requires
extensive testing by a distinguished panel of unbiased chefs with
extensive and diverse culinary experience" said Keith Davis, CEC,
AAC, and chair of the ACF Seal of Approval committee. "It was
evident to the entire panel that the Eggland's Best products
significantly exceeded all the measurement criteria and deserved to
be recognized for their exceptional quality."
