What You Should Know

You'd find these Eat Just plant-based egg patties in the refrigerated plant-based/egg-replacement section or breakfast aisle — an easy grab for a quick morning sandwich or weekend brunch. The product gives a convenient, slightly nostalgic breakfast-patty vibe, while the use of isolated mung bean protein, binding enzyme (transglutaminase), chemical leaveners and color extracts points to industrial processing for uniform texture and shelf stability typical of ultra-processed foods.
