Egg Nutrition Facts label (FDA standard format)
This is the Nutrition Facts label for egg as the FDA specifies it: one serving of 1 large (50 g), every value rounded exactly as 21 CFR 101.9 requires, the same rounding a compliance reviewer checks. Nutrient data is USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy, FDC ID 173424: Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled).

Egg nutrition label for Canada, the EU and the UK
The same 1 large of egg, drawn by the site's Canadian, EU and UK renderers. Canada keeps a per-serving panel in English and French with its own Daily Values and folds trans fat into the saturated-fat row. The EU declaration is per 100 g only, states energy in kJ and kcal, and declares salt (sodium × 2.5) rather than sodium. The UK table is the EU layout as retained by the Food Information Regulations 2014, with the optional per-serving column and %RI. One recipe in the generator renders all of them from the same numbers.

What stands out in egg
Measured against the FDA's nutrient-content claim thresholds (21 CFR 101.54), egg is notable for:
- Cholesterol - 185mg per 1 large - 62% DV, at or above the 20% the FDA treats as high.
- Protein - 6g per 1 large - 13% DV, enough to qualify as a good source (10–19% DV).
These are the thresholds that decide whether a package may carry a claim like “good source of fiber”. The label generator applies the same rules to your own recipe.
