Label Check: Are Eggs a Dairy Product or Not?


It can come as a surprise to many, but eggs are not dairy products—even though they are often positioned next to milk, cheese, and cream in grocery stores. This confusion stems from the egg's resemblance in appearance and also its place in the refrigerated section along with other (dairy) protein sources. There are several characteristics which describe the difference between dairy and eggs on a biological and nutritional level.

Dairy products are animal-based, and come from the milk of mammals (cows, goats, sheep). The types of dairy products are categorized into milk, yogurt, cheese, and butter. Eggs are laid by birds (chickens being the most common), and they do not have milk or milk byproducts in them.

For people with lactose intolerance or milk allergies, the distinction is important to know about, as eggs contain no lactose, and importantly they are generally a good food option for people avoiding dairy. Likewise, people with an egg allergy should avoid eggs, dairy or not.

Understanding edible items and their associated food labels and categories helps consumers make informed choices, especially when dealing with a health management plan or diet. So the next time you are reading a label, or shopping the dairy aisle, remember—eggs aren’t dairy—they are eggs.
