The Egg Nutrition Center (ENC) was established in 1984 for the purpose of providing commercial egg producers and processors, health promotion agencies, and consumers with a resource for scientifically accurate information on egg nutrition and the role of eggs in the health and nutrition of the American diet. The Center exists under an cooperative agreement between the American Egg Board [AEB] and United Egg Producers [UEP]. ENC is located in Washington, DC and communicates regularly with industry, government, the media, and a variety of health promotion and nutrition agencies.
