What to know about egg yolk

Is egg yolk a trigger? Like the white, the yolk is clean on food chemistry: low histamine, low salicylate, low FODMAP. What sets it apart is allergy tolerance. Most of the proteins behind egg allergy sit in the white, so egg yolk is the part more people with egg allergy can tolerate, provided it is separated cleanly from the white. It still counts as egg for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) elimination, so it is not automatically safe for everyone.

Watch for

  • The yolk carries fewer of the major egg allergens than the white, so it is often the better-tolerated part in egg allergy, once separated cleanly
  • Cross-contamination matters: a yolk with traces of white can still set off an egg-allergic reaction
  • Still counts as egg for EoE, so it is removed along with egg in the six-food elimination diet
  • Low in histamine, salicylates and FODMAPs; vegetarian but not vegan
