Our Mission and Work

Our Mission:

ENC is a credible source of nutrition and health science information and the acknowledged leader in research and education related to eggs.

Our Work:

ENC sponsors health related scientific research that is primarily focused on egg intake. Research grants are openly solicited and reviewed by a Scientific Advisory Panel comprised of acknowledged authorities in health research and clinical practice. Current areas of research interest include: protein intake, nutrient density of eggs, and dietary cholesterol. ENC’s investment in scientific research is in excess of $1 million per year.

ENC monitors scientific findings and regulatory developments, and serves as a resource for health practitioners needing current nutrition information to share with their patients. Key vehicles for disseminating information are the Nutrition Close-Up newsletter, various educational brochures and tool kits, published scientific articles, and symposia presented at health professional conferences and the enc-online.org website.
