Are ecoeggs gluten free?
Yes, all eggs are naturally gluten free. However, this claim is not recommended for use on egg packs as it is potentially confusing for consumers.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat and certain other grains including barley, rye, spelt and triticale but is not found in eggs. Even if hens eat wheat/grains containing gluten in their diet, the gluten is broken down and digested, as are all other proteins, as it travels through the hens digestive system.
