Misleading Orange Egg Yolk Color is Toxic - Ethoxyquin

If the name ethoxyquin didn't already make you raise your eyebrows, the official name, 6-ethoxy-1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline is sure to.

Those bright colored yolks may not be worth it when you find out what else is in the yolk and how you have been mislead.

There is more to know about your eggs and their nutritional status than simply yolk color.
