Are Egg Beaters Vegan?!
Answers: Just curious if vegans eat egg beaters?
No. Egg Beaters are not vegan. They're actually nothing more than chicken eggs with the yolks removed. Here's what I found about them from wikipedia:
Egg Beaters is a product manufactured in St. Louis, Missouri and sold in the United States by ConAgra Foods as a substitute for whole chicken eggs. It is composed of egg whites separated from their yolks and fortified with vitamins and other nutrients. Xantham gum and guar gum are also added as emulsifiers and thickeners. By eliminating the yolk, Egg Beaters has significantly fewer calories than whole eggs, and has no fat or cholesterol.
If you want to read more about the product you can go to their website: http://www.eggbeaters.com/index.jsp

Take care.
Nope. They are made with real eggs which Vegans do not eat.

No they are not vegan; they are made with egg whites, which is why they're "Cholesterol free." A vegetarian might eat them, but a vegan, who does not eat any animal products would not eat Egg Beaters. :)
I get this questions all the time. People think that egg beaters aren't eggs. It must be because they've never had them or read the label. Egg beaters are egg whites with coloring.
if it comes from animals its not vegan
Vegans don't eat eggs. This includes egg whites.
Nope. It's real eggs, and they even say they're from real eggs.
No, they are an egg product.
