CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J.,
Sept. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- For the 11th consecutive year, Eggland's
Best (EB) is supporting the fight to end breast cancer by "going
pink" in honor of its partnership with Susan G. Komen®. Eggland's
Best is committed to providing support to help fund Komen's mission
to save lives by meeting the most critical needs in our communities
and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast
cancer.
"We're thankful to have generous partners such as Eggland's Best
to support us in our mission to eliminate breast cancer," said
Sarah Rosales, Komen's VP of
Corporate Partnerships. "One in eight women during their lifetime
will have a moment that will change everything – the moment they
are told they have breast cancer. Eggland's Best's
long-standing support ensures that we are able to be there for
everyone touched by breast cancer, every step of the way."
Throughout October, EB is proudly showcasing its commitment to
the cause and encouraging consumers to join the fight against
breast cancer by featuring Susan G.
Komen's signature pink Running Ribbon® on its iconic
EB-stamped eggs. In addition, Eggland's Best egg cartons will
display Susan G. Komen graphics to
show its support for the breast cancer community. Eggland's Best is
also pledging a $100,000 donation to
Susan G. Komen in 2020-2021,
regardless of sales.
"Eggland's Best is thrilled to once again join forces with
Susan G. Komen to support research,
advocacy and patient support to help save lives from breast
cancer," said Charlie Lanktree, CEO
of Eggland's Best. "While we've come a long way, this awful disease
still touches too many Americans each year. We are committed
to helping Komen's life-saving work."
"I'm proud to support Susan G.
Komen's worthy cause through working with Eggland's Best,"
said Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner.
"Now more than ever, a nutritious diet is an important element of
maintaining overall health and wellness. With micronutrients that
support a healthy immune system such as six times more vitamin D
and double the vitamin B12 and omega-3s, Eggland's Best eggs are a
great way to give your diet a nutritious boost."
Compared to ordinary eggs, Eggland's Best eggs contain six times
more vitamin D, 25% less saturated fat, more than double the
Omega-3s, ten times more vitamin E, and more than double the
vitamin B12. The superior nutrition of Eggland's Best is due to its
proprietary all-vegetarian hen feed that contains healthy grains,
canola oil and a wholesome supplement of rice bran, alfalfa, sea
kelp and Vitamin E. In addition, independent testing has revealed
that Eggland's Best eggs have stronger shells than ordinary eggs,
which leads to less breakage and helps them stay fresher longer.

qualities.
