Default What is in your fast food egg?

Sometimes it is just an egg. Other times it has 15 ingredients.

McDonalds
McDonald's McMuffins have genuine eggs, freshly cracked from the shell
and cooked for your breakfast sandwich. But if you order a Sausage, Egg,
& Cheese Biscuit, for example, the egg is a different story. Those
breakfast sandwiches and biscuits are served with a €śFolded Egg,€ť and it
has quite a few ingredients.

Folded Egg€”Pasteurized whole eggs, food starch-modified, soybean oil,
natural flavors (botanical source), sodium acid pyrophosphate,
carrageenan, flavor enhancer [salt, maltodextrin, natural flavor (plant
source), spices, herb, turmeric (color)], monosodium phosphate, citric
acid, soy lecithin (release agent).

Thats 15 ingredients in €śeggs.€ť

Subway
Subways Bacon, Egg & Cheese flatbread, as well as three similar
options, offers up a scrambled egg-style patty with 15 ingredients, tied
with the McDonalds offering.

Egg Omelet Patty€”Liquid whole egg, liquid egg white, water, skim milk
powder, canola oil, butter flavour (liquid and hydrogenated soybean oil,
salt, soy lecithin, natural flavor, tocopherols), natural corn starch,
salt, xanthan gum, citric acid, white pepper.

Want it with an egg white patty instead? That list is a bit shorter.

Egg (White) Omelet Patty€”Liquid egg white, natural corn starch, butter
flavour (soybean oil, natural flavour), salt, xanthan gum, white pepper.

Scary. They are eggs. They are easy enough to purchase, store and to
crack open, so there doesn't seem to be any reason to have to used
processed foods.

They do use some sort of spray release agent on those McMuffin egg
pans, probably something along the lines of PAM: Canola Oil*, Palm
Oil*, Coconut Oil*, Lecithin from Soybeans (Non-Stick Agent), Wheat
Flour, Silicon Dioxide, Artificial Flavor, TBHQ (Preservative).

IHop adds pancake batter to their eggs. You can get them without. You just
have to ask. But most people wouldn't be expecting that so wouldn't ask.
