American Egg Board

The American Egg Board (AEB) is the national marketing and research arm of the U.S. egg industry, operating under the oversight of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Through its research division, the Egg Nutrition Center (ENC), the AEB funds and communicates scientific research regarding the health benefits of eggs, focusing on areas such as cardiovascular health, protein's role in muscle mass, and the importance of choline for brain development. The organization collaborates with leading academic institutions to conduct clinical trials that inform dietary guidelines and public health recommendations. By supporting peer-reviewed science, the AEB plays a significant role in the nutrition and life sciences landscape, particularly concerning metabolic and geriatric health. Its efforts are funded by a national legislative checkoff on all egg production in the United States.
