Fast delivery and well packaged. It arrived in a sturdy box, the powder was in a clear sealed plastic bag with a label attached inside another bag. I purchased this in June 2022 and my label had a Best Before Date of 13/10/23 (16 months). The country of origin states the Netherlands and the supplier address in London is also stated. Nutritional values are listed and the Ingredients states “Pasteurised Dried egg, Contains Egg, May Contain traces of Gluten, Soy, Milk. Instructions for Reconstitution are also given.The powder was a lovely uniform pastel yellow colour. It looked to be well refined and pure. As other reviews have mentioned, the powder does have a slight fish odour but because I was aware of those comments I was expecting that. Presumably the slight odour is a natural consequence of the pasteurised drying process. However, that slight odour disappears when the egg powder is reconstituted and cooked.My logic concerning the safety of using egg powder versus natural eggs is that egg powder has been produced for decades, and that process has been improved with modern technology and food science data, so providing a company processes the powder correctly under hygienic safe conditions, then a pasteurised egg powder should be as safe as fresh eggs, if not even safer, especially as fresh eggs can go off very quickly, whereas powder, providing that it has been processed and stored correctly, will last for well over a year at the absolute minimum according to this company’s label.We added 75g of water to 25g of powder (weighed to be exactly as per their instructions for the equivalent of 2 medium hen eggs) and whisked it up with a hand whisk to ensure it was light, aired and well mixed. Then we scrambled that to do a taste test (picture attached). We did it in a frying pan that was sprayed with light sunflower oil cooking spray. The result was one of the best scrambled eggs we have eaten. We throughly enjoyed it. The texture was perfect (not rubbery at all like some scrambled eggs can be). Personally, there was no way I would have been able to tell from look, taste, or texture, that the scrambled egg was made from powder.Now that we have confidence in the powder, and know that it tastes just like fresh eggs as far as we are concerned, we’ll use it without reservation in all our cooking and baking, as required. We’ll probably buy a 500g pack of egg Yolk powder online and some sachets of egg white (albumen) from our local store, with appreciating now how useful it is to have egg powder at hand. That way we’ll also have all types of baking recipes covered where egg yolks and whites need separating.I transferred the powder to Kilner jars (picture attached) for easier convenience and better long term storage. There is enough spare powder after doing those two jars from our 1kg bag to make some omelettes or a cooked breakfast or two.
