Egg Allergies: One of the Most Pervasive Food Restrictions

Egg allergy is one of the most common childhood food allergies and affects a significant portion of adults as well. The challenge is that eggs are a binding, coating, and leavening agent found in countless dishes worldwide — from Japanese ramen (egg topping) to French pastries to Italian pasta to Chinese fried rice.

A well-worded egg allergy card in the local language ensures restaurant staff understand that "no eggs" means no egg in any form — not just avoiding a whole boiled egg, but also egg wash on pastries, egg in pasta dough, mayonnaise, meringue, and aioli.

Hidden Egg Sources in Restaurant Cooking

Pasta dough

Traditional Italian pasta and some Asian noodles are made with egg.

Batter and breading

Egg wash is used on fried foods, pastries, and breaded meats.

Mayonnaise and aioli

Both are egg-based sauces found worldwide.

Ramen and noodle toppings

Soft-boiled or marinated eggs are common ramen toppings in Japan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does egg allergy cover mayonnaise?

Yes. Mayonnaise is made from egg yolks. Our egg allergy cards explicitly mention mayonnaise and aioli as forbidden items.

Is egg lecithin safe for egg allergy sufferers?

Egg lecithin is derived from eggs and may cause reactions in those with egg allergy. However, some highly refined egg lecithin products are tolerated. Consult your allergist. Our cards can include a note about this if needed.
