When an egg is called for in a recipe, the market currently has egg substitutes available to replace the use of that egg. Check the ingredient label carefully though. Many boxed varieties do contain egg whites. Many other suggestions are available too depending on the type of finished product which is desired. Some common substitutions can be tofu, mashed potatoes, tomato paste, canned pumpkin, applesauce etc.. The perfect substitution is reliant on the type of outcome you are trying to achieve, whether the egg is being used as a binder, for foam (top of many alcoholic drinks), in baked goods etc..
So by learning to read an ingredient label to maintain an avoidance of any of egg's proteins, an egg free diet can be obtained for your own health and safety.
