While eggs haven’t historically been considered a “health food,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now classifies them as a “healthy, nutrient-dense” food, according to a new proposed rule.

The update is the result of changes in nutrition science and dietary recommendations, according to the agency.

The FDA’s “healthy” designation for food labeling purposes has been in use since the early 1990s.
