Past and present
Egg Beaters was introduced in 1972 and was originally sold frozen. The refrigerated version of Egg Beaters did not appear until 1994. Egg Beaters originally had no yolk in its products in order to eliminate the cholesterol, which yolk contained. [http://mutex.gmu.edu:2233/ Vanessa L Facenda "ConAgra Egg Substitute Beats a Path to Gen Yers." Brandweek, February 18, 2008, 14] However, in March 2008 the company came out with a new product that had yolk, called Egg Beaters With Yolk. [http://mutex.gmu.edu:2233/ Vanessa L Facenda "ConAgra Egg Substitute Beats a Path to Gen Yers." Brandweek, February 18, 2008, 14.] The new version includes a small amount of egg yolk, which adds more flavor to the original Egg Beaters - and has the same amount of fat and cholesterol as a proportionate mix of yolk and white from a fresh egg. Egg Beaters is currently sold in stores in six different varieties in different size containers.
