Grade C-2.5 ptsEggs & Dairy

What It Is

"Processed egg fraction — may include whole egg, whites, or yolks."

Health Impact

Processed but still nutrient-dense. The vague "product" label means it may be any fraction of egg. Less ideal than "whole dried egg" but still nutritious. Score: 5.5/10.

Why This Grade

A real but unresolved concern: often an ongoing FDA/AAFCO research question (like the grain-free/DCM investigation), a common allergen, or a vague-but-not-alarming label claim. -2.5 pts deducted.
