According to the European
Commission (EC) Nutrition & Health Claims regulation (European Parliament and
Council, 2007) a ‘source’ claim can be made for foodstuffs that meet at least 15% of
the Recommended Daily Amount (RDA) per 100g, while a ‘rich in’ claim applies
when nutrient levels exceed 30% RDA. To that end, the average egg is high in
protein, ‘a source’ of vitamin A, folate, choline, phosphorus and selenium, and ‘rich
in’ vitamin D, riboflavin, vitamin B12, biotin and iodine. The lipid matrix within the egg
yolk is believed to enhance the bioavailability of nutrients, such as lutein and
zeaxanthin (Heron and Fernandez, 2004).
