Schouten Europe a manufacturer of a plant-based egg white was recognized at the Anuga Taste Innovation Show held recently in Cologne Germany.  The product is manufactured from soy protein and canola oil and is claimed to mimic the texture and taste of egg white.

In commenting on the recognition of the No-Egg White product, Niek Schouten, COO of his company stated, “I believe taste really is king and that’s what we’re showing with our vegan egg white salad on toast.”  He added, “With this product consumers don’t need to sacrifice taste and will benefit from convenience.”
