and the ADA
Eggland's Best has American Dietetic and American Diabetes Association Exchange List Certification.
Both ADA's provide timely and objective food and nutrition information for consumers so you, the consumer, stay informed about food, nutrition issues and healthy eating.
Eggland's Best participates in this initiative as part of the ADA Food Exchange System.*
Eggland's Best eggs contain a similar mix of carbohydrates, protein, fat and calories that can be substituted for other foods by people on special or restricted diets. The Exchange calculations are based on nutrient analysis, serving size and ingredient composition. The exchanges provided conform to the 2008 Choose Your Food: Exchange Lists for Diabetes.
Eggland’s Best eggs are the only nationally branded fresh shell eggs granted permission by the American Dietetic Association and the American Diabetes Association to carry exchange list verifications on their packaging. According to these two respected health organizations, one Eggland’s Best egg can be exchanged for one medium-fat meat or meat substitute.
Eggland’s Best has been permitted to print the following statement on its carton:
1 Eggland's Best egg (50g) = 1 medium fat meat exchange.*
