More About Avoiding Eggs

Eggs have been used to create the foam or milk topping on specialty coffee drinks and are used in some bar drinks.
Some commercial brands of egg substitutes contain egg whites.
Most commercially processed cooked pastas (including those used in prepared foods such as soup) contain eggs or are processed on equipment shared with egg-containing pastas.
Read the label or ask about ingredients before eating pasta. Contact the manufacturer to find out if the pasta is produced on equipment shared with egg-containing products.
