Egg-Free Diet
All labels on foods must be read for products containing eggs, powdered or dried egg, albumin, dried egg yolk, egg white, ovalbumin, ovomucin, ovomucoid, vitellin, ovovitellin, livetin, ovoglobulin egg albumin and globulin.
Read every label since it is impossible to list all sources of eggs, and the composition of any food product may be changed without notice.
The MMR and flu vaccines should be discussed with our office prior to administration.
