Better for our Health

Thanks to their high bioavailability and nutrient density, eggs have the capacity to directly improve human health around the world. Many of the essential vitamins and minerals found in eggs are key nutrients for a healthy, active lifestyle and to perform at your best.

At dsm-firmenich, we know that both the nature and the appearance of food are major criteria for consumers. As the dsm-firmenich Egg Family is on their mission to ensure people recognize eggs for their health benefits, we offer solutions to help egg producers achieve the specific egg yolk color consumers are looking for. Ultimately, preferences vary but consumers around the world recognize that a golden yolk invariably comes from a healthy hen.
