NuVal® Recognizes Eggland's Best Eggs with Highest Nutrition Score in Egg Category

Judged on Nutritional Value – Eggland's Best is Significantly Superior to Ordinary Eggs

-- The NuVal® Nutritional Scoring System, a comprehensive food
scoring system that measures the nutritional quality of foods, has identified
Eggland's Best eggs as the highest scoring egg on grocery store shelves. 

Every year national food brands are tested on the NuVal® Nutritional Scoring
 System, which looks into more than 30 nutrients and nutrition factors such as
 Vitamin D, Vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, saturated fat, calories and protein.
 The system was created to provide an easy-to-use guide to maintaining a healthy
 diet in an environment where obesity is a growing concern.
Grocery shoppers across the country look to the NuVal® Nutritional Scoring
 System as a guide for making quick, smart decisions when selecting nutritionally
 superior food brands for themselves and their families. Developed by a panel of
 nutrition and medical experts, NuVal® uses fact panels, package labels and
 nutrition reports to score foods on a scale of 1 – 100. The higher the NuVal®
 score, the more nutrient-rich the food item is.
"After testing 48 different brands of eggs, Eggland's Best eggs came out on
 top in terms of nutritional value," said Anne Bernier, Sr. Operations Director
 for NuVal LLC.  "Eggland's Best's dedication to providing Americans with
a nutritionally superior egg was proven during an evaluation of more than
30 different nutrients and nutrition factors, which resulted in an impressive
 NuVal score of 85." 
Compared to regular eggs, Eggland's Best eggs contain 25 percent less
 saturated fat, five times more vitamin D, more than double the omega-3s,
 ten times more vitamin E and three times more vitamin B12.  Eggland's Best's 
superior nutritional profile is due to its proprietary all-vegetarian hen feed
 that contains healthy grains, canola oil and a wholesome supplement of
rice bran, alfalfa, sea kelp and Vitamin E.  In addition, a recent independent
 study showed that Eggland's Best eggs stay fresher longer than ordinary eggs.
"Receiving the highest NuVal score, combined with our continued growth,
 reinforces the fact that we are achieving our goal of providing consumers the
 best tasting, freshest, and most nutritious egg possible," said Charlie Lanktree,
 President and CEO of Eggland's Best. "Eggland's Best's significantly higher
 score than ordinary eggs helps consumers make healthier decisions for their families."
Eggland's Best eggs are available in classic large, extra-large, jumbo, organic
and cage-free, as well as hard-cooked peeled egg and liquid egg whites varieties.
