Household Ingredients Compared  ›  Eggs (Singapore)

Eggs: what's actually in it?

For shell eggs, the ingredient list is the shortest on this whole site: egg. Every difference that matters on the egg shelf is therefore not in the ingredient list at all — it is in how the hen was housed, what she was fed, how old she was when she laid, and whether the egg was pasteurised. This page compares those production claims as printed, side by side, so that "omega-3", "kampung", "free-range" and "first-born" can be judged on what the brand actually says they mean.

This page does not rank eggs, give a health score, or pick a "best" egg. Where a brand makes a nutrition claim (lower cholesterol, higher omega-3, lutein for eyes), the page quotes it as the brand's claim and notes where independent coverage urges caution — it does not endorse it.

Prices are deliberately not shown here: they change weekly and would go stale. This site compares production claims only. All shell eggs below carry the egg allergen.

Local designer eggs — Chew's

Chew's Fresh Eggs — Omega-3

Pack size: 550g (10) · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim (brand/coverage): hens fed a specially formulated in-house feed, augmented with omega-3.

Chew's general feed claim, covering its range: 100% plant-based, hormone-free and antibiotic-free feed. Press coverage (Straits Times, speaking to Chew's general manager) frames omega-3 eggs as augmenting brain/heart health for people who do not eat enough fish, and notes two or more eggs a day would be needed for optimal effect — that dosage framing is the newspaper's, not a pack claim, and is quoted here only to show the claim needs a quantity to mean anything. Allergen: egg Designer: omega-3 Singapore farm

Chew's Fresh Eggs — Omega-6

Pack size: 550g (10) · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim: same Chew's feed base, augmented with omega-6 (brand range description).

Listed at FairPrice alongside Omega-3. No separate feed formula is published on the listing checked — the omega-6 distinction is the brand's range claim, and the pack should be checked for any specific nutrient quantities before publish. Allergen: egg Designer: omega-6

Chew's Fresh Eggs — Organic Selenium

Pack size: 550g (10) · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim: feed augmented with organic selenium (brand range description).

Press coverage describes selenium eggs as potentially boosting immunity and thyroid health "with antiviral properties" — that is coverage language about the nutrient in general, not a verified pack claim, and this page does not adopt it as fact. Allergen: egg Designer: organic selenium

Chew's Fresh Eggs — Vitamin E

Pack size: 600g (10) · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim: feed augmented with vitamin E (brand range description).

Listed at FairPrice. As with Omega-6, no separate feed formula was retrieved — the vitamin-E distinction is the range claim. Allergen: egg Designer: vitamin E

Chew's Singapore Fresh Eggs — Cage Free

Pack size: 330g (6) · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim: cage-free hens in an aviary system; Certified Humane® by Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC).

Chew's pioneered cage-free production in Singapore in 2012 and partnered with HFAC in 2019; multiple sources describe it as the first and only Certified Humane cage-free producer in Singapore. "Cage-free" means hens are not in cages — it does not by itself mean outdoor/free-range access, and the HFAC certification is the verifiable part of the claim. Allergen: egg Cage-free Certified Humane

Chew's Kampong Chicken Eggs

Pack size: not stated · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim: eggs from kampung chickens (brand range description).

FairPrice lists a 6-pack at 180g — i.e. ~30g per egg, markedly smaller than standard ~55–60g eggs. Kampung eggs are traditionally smaller and are favoured for taste; no designer nutrient claim (omega, selenium) is attached to this variant on the listings checked. Allergen: egg Kampung Small egg (~30g)

Chew's Rise & Shine Farm Fresh Eggs

Pack size: not stated · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim: standard farm-fresh range (no designer nutrient claim stated on listings checked).

Included as the base case: the same farm, same general feed claim, without an omega/selenium/vitamin or housing badge. It is the control against which the designer variants' extra claims should be judged. Allergen: egg Farm fresh

Local designer eggs — Seng Choon

Seng Choon Eggs — Farm Fresh

Pack size: 550g (10) · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim: standard farm-fresh eggs from Seng Choon Farm (Lim Chu Kang/Jalan Gemala, Singapore; producing since the 1980s).

Base case for Seng Choon, as Rise & Shine is for Chew's. Coverage notes most Seng Choon hens are fed the same diet (corn and soya bean base) and that the farm keeps taste consistent across the brand. Allergen: egg Farm fresh

Seng Choon Lower Cholesterol Eggs — Golden Corn

Pack size: 520g (10) · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim (FairPrice): "These eggs are produced from hens fed on a diet of first-grade maize. As a result, these eggs are rich in protein & low in calories." Also: low in cholesterol compared to normal eggs; contains vitamin E; UV sterilized.

FairPrice nutrition data for this product lists cholesterol 146mg per serving (see research notes for serving basis). Press coverage cautions that golden corn eggs, named for the maize diet, are "not necessarily lower in calories or higher in protein than the average fresh egg" — that caution is quoted here because it directly qualifies the brand's "rich in protein & low in calories" wording. Allergen: egg Lower cholesterol (brand claim) Maize-fed

Seng Choon Lower Cholesterol Eggs — Carrot

Pack size: not stated · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim: carrot eggs from hens fed a lutein-rich diet (brand/coverage).

Coverage describes lutein as a carotenoid that protects the eyes, and notes carrot eggs require consistent intake to improve eye/skin health — again, general nutrient framing, not a pack guarantee. Seng Choon's own interview wording is simpler: "we feed lutein to chickens who then pass it on to their eggs." Allergen: egg Lower cholesterol (brand claim) Lutein / carrot

Seng Choon Lower Cholesterol Eggs — 1st Born

Pack size: 400g (10) · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim (FairPrice): "These eggs are produced by young healthy hens in their first lay. It is traditionally believed by former kampong dwellers that first-born eggs are more nutritious & delectable."

FairPrice nutrition data lists cholesterol 115mg and vitamin E 0.8mg per 36g serving. Note the brand's own wording — "traditionally believed" — and coverage's assessment that first-born eggs (~40g each) are unlikely to contain added nutrients and their benefits are "mostly taste-based" (thicker white, fresher taste). Both are quoted so the reader can see the belief and the check side by side. Allergen: egg First-born Small egg (~40g)

Local eggs — N&N

N&N Big Fresh Eggs

Pack size: 650g (10) · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim: N&N Agriculture (Lim Chu Kang, Singapore) — natural feed of premium corn, soya and multi-grains; 100% free of hormones and antibiotics (brand range description).

Base case for N&N. Coverage quotes N&N's chief executive as saying "an egg is an egg" and that the colour/taste are the same because the feed base (corn and soya bean) is generally the same — a frank statement that cuts against designer-egg differentiation and is worth keeping on the page. Allergen: egg Farm fresh

N&N Local Kampong Eggs

Pack size: not stated · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim: produced by kampung-breed hens; lower cholesterol; same N&N corn/soya/multi-grain feed; hormone/antibiotic-free; Grade AA freshness, produced daily in Singapore.

The kampung claim here is about breed, plus a lower-cholesterol claim that the Chew's kampung variant does not carry — the two "kampung" products are therefore not the same claim, even though the word matches. Allergen: egg Kampung Lower cholesterol (brand claim)

N&N First-Born Eggs

Pack size: not stated · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim: first-born eggs on the same N&N feed base; lower cholesterol; Grade AA; produced daily in Singapore.

Same first-lay concept as Seng Choon 1st Born, from a different farm. Neither farm publishes a distinct feed formula for first-born eggs on the listings checked — the distinction is hen age at lay. Allergen: egg First-born Lower cholesterol (brand claim)

Pasteurised eggs — Egg Story (N&N)

Egg Story Pasteurised Eggs with Omega 3 & 6 (shell eggs)

Pack size: not stated · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredients (FairPrice): Fresh Eggs

FairPrice description: "1st and only pasteurized fresh eggs stringently pasteurized in Singapore farm, N&N Agriculture to kill salmonella and bird flu virus if present inside and outside the eggs. Contains omega 3 and 6 + vitamin E. Lower cholesterol." Coverage explains the process: eggs submerged in a 60°C water bath, then coated in oil to prevent contaminant entry, then chilled. The same coverage warns pasteurisation does not necessarily extend shelf life — consume promptly, as with all eggs. Allergen: egg Pasteurised shell Omega 3 & 6 + vitamin E (brand claim)

Egg Story Pasteurised Liquid Whole Eggs — SG ingredient section to verify

Pack size: not stated · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Composition as described (brand site): made from high-quality fresh eggs produced by N&N Singapore daily; stringent pasteurisation; 100% free of preservatives and chemicals. Product name: Pasteurized Liquid Whole Eggs (chilled/frozen options).

Egg Story also lists liquid egg white, liquid yolk, liquid white in a bottle, and liquid yolk with sugar. No Singapore retail ingredient section for the liquid whole egg itself was retrieved in this pass, so no verbatim list is quoted — the panel rests on the product name plus the brand's no-preservatives claim. A generic liquid-whole-egg list found elsewhere (whole egg, citric acid) is not quoted here, because it is not the Singapore product's list. Allergen: egg Pasteurised liquid

Imported free-range — Little Farms

Barossa Free Range Eggs — Large / X-Large (Little Farms)

Pack size: Large 600g · X-Large 700g (10 per pack) · Made in: Australia (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim (Little Farms): Barossa Valley, South Australia, Attard family farm (since 1935); hens roam freely every day; 100% South Australian birds.

Two sizes panelled as one claim (Large 600g/12, X-Large 700g/12) because the farming claim is identical — only egg size differs. Delivered with at least 14 days to expiry, per Little Farms. No feed formula is stated on the listings checked. Allergen: egg Free-range Origin: Australia (Barossa Valley)

Danaeg Organic Danish Eggs — Free Range (Little Farms)

Pack size: not stated · Made in: Denmark (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim (Little Farms): organic free-range Danish eggs from Danish family farms (cooperative, since 1895); farm-to-table system based on HACCP, FSSC22000 and KAT certifications; unique salmonella management plan; tray from 100% recycled paper.

The only organic free-range egg panelled here, and the only one whose listing leads with food-safety certifications rather than feed. Keep refrigerated at max 5°C, per listing. No feed formula stated on the listing checked. Allergen: egg Free-range Organic Origin: Denmark

Chew's Sakura Fresh Eggs

Pack size: 550g (10) · Made in: Singapore (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim (Chew's brand site + FairPrice): produced by chickens fed with friendly microbes, using a patented Japanese Lactobacillus feed fermentation technology; egg whites have a sweetened taste of natural glutamic acid and glycine, and yolks have lower cholesterol content.

FairPrice lists Sakura as 550g (10 per pack), Singapore origin, "Japanese farming technology" and "Japan Lactobacillus feed fermentation technology". This is a feed claim of a different kind from the omega/selenium designer eggs — probiotic/fermented feed rather than a named nutrient added to the feed — and the "lower cholesterol" wording is the brand's claim, quoted as such. No brand-specific nutrition panel was retrieved in this pass. Allergen: egg Probiotic feed Singapore farm

Freedom Range Cage-Free Eggs — Extra Large (and Jumbo 70g+)

Pack size: Extra Large 800g (12) · Jumbo 70g+ (10) · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredient: Egg. Production claim (brand site freedom-range.com + FairPrice): Certified Humane by Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC); cage-free eggs, farm-stamped fresh.

FairPrice lists Freedom Range Cage-Free Eggs — Extra Large, 800g (12 per pack). The brand site also lists a 10-pack Jumbo Cage-Free Eggs (70g and above), sold on Lazada. This is the second Certified Humane cage-free egg in Singapore on this page after Chew's Cage-Free — the certifier, not just the word "cage-free", is the verifiable part. No feed formula was retrieved on the listings checked. Allergen: egg Cage-free Certified Humane

Little Farms check (added channel)

Little Farms was checked for eggs. Beyond the two panelled imports above, it also lists its own Little Farms Free Range Eggs — Extra Large (700g/12; "hens are free to roam and forage", all-natural, no chemical additives). That product is in seen-but-not-verified below, not panelled, because its Little Farms listing gives no farm name, origin or certification to cross-check, unlike Barossa (named farm/region) and Danaeg (named cooperative/certifications). Little Farms stocks no kampung, omega or pasteurised-liquid eggs in the listings found — its egg range is free-range-led, which is itself a useful inventory finding.

Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked

Nutrition — what the numbers say

Shell eggs on this page have almost no brand-specific nutrition panel retrieved in this pass, so this section is deliberately short. The one per-100 g row is a generic whole raw egg reference (USDA), clearly labelled as such — it is not a panel for Chew's, Seng Choon, N&N, Egg Story, Barossa or Danaeg, and must not be quoted as any brand's figures. Salt = sodium × 2.5; sodium is shown as printed and the salt equivalent in brackets. No Nutri-Grade is assigned, and no health score is given. Sugars on egg panels are total sugars as printed; eggs contain no added sugar in the panelled lists.

Conflicts flagged: another USDA whole-raw-egg entry gives, per 100 g, 143 kcal, protein 12.4 g, fat 10 g, saturated fat 3.2 g, carbohydrate 1.0 g, sugars 0.2 g and sodium 129 mg — slightly different from the row above (notably sodium 129 mg vs 142 mg, sugars 0.2 g vs 0.4 g). Both are USDA-derived; the difference is a reminder that even a generic egg figure varies by database entry, and brand-specific SG pack figures are still needed.

What the numbers say, as numbers only: the generic per-100 g reference shows sugars 0.4 g and sodium 142 mg (salt 0.36 g) per 100 g raw egg. No brand-specific sugar or sodium figure is available from a retrieved panel on this page, so no brand comparison on those columns is made.

Seen but not verified (nutrition) — do not panel until checked: Chew's Omega-3, Omega-6, Organic Selenium, Vitamin E, Cage-Free, Kampong, Rise & Shine and Sakura; Freedom Range Cage-Free; Seng Choon Farm Fresh and Carrot; N&N Big Fresh, Kampong and First-Born; Egg Story Pasteurised Shell (Omega 3 & 6) and Pasteurised Liquid Whole Egg; Barossa Free Range Large/X-Large; Danaeg Organic Danish Free Range. No brand-specific nutrition panel was retrieved for these in this pass, and the generic reference row above must not be copied onto any of them.

How to read an egg claim — the jargon, in plain English

Cage / cage-free / free-range
Cage = hens housed in cages. Cage-free = hens not in cages, typically in an aviary/barn system — it does not guarantee outdoor access. Free-range = hens have outdoor/roaming access (how much, and how often, depends on the standard and the farm). Always look for the certifier (e.g. Certified Humane) rather than trusting the word alone.
Designer eggs
Industry shorthand for eggs differentiated by feed (omega-3, selenium, vitamin E, lutein) or by hen (kampung, first-born). The egg itself is still an egg; the claim is about what went into the hen or which hen laid it.
Omega-3 / omega-6 / selenium / vitamin E / lutein
Nutrients added to (or naturally increased by) the hen's feed, which then appear in higher amounts in the yolk, per the brand. The amount per egg matters more than the word on the pack — check the nutrition panel, and note that coverage suggests multiple eggs a day may be needed for the claimed effect.
Kampung
Eggs from kampung (village-breed) hens. Typically smaller, with a traditional taste association. "Kampung" on two brands is not the same claim unless both state the same breed/feed — compare the panels above.
First-born
Eggs from young hens in their first laying period. Smaller (~30–40g), with a thicker white according to Seng Choon coverage. The "more nutritious" idea is a traditional belief quoted by the brand itself, not a measured nutrient claim on the listings checked.
Lower cholesterol
A brand claim that the egg contains less cholesterol than a normal egg, usually with a figure on the nutrition panel (e.g. Seng Choon Golden Corn 146mg, 1st Born 115mg per serving as listed). Serving sizes differ, so compare per 100g or per egg, not headline figures.
Pasteurised (shell vs liquid)
Shell: the whole egg in its shell, heat-treated (Egg Story: ~60°C water bath) to kill salmonella/bird-flu virus inside and out, without cooking it. Liquid: the egg broken out of the shell, pasteurised and packed as whole egg, white only, or yolk only. Liquid yolk with sugar is a different product — sugar is an ingredient there.
UV sterilized
A surface treatment stated on Seng Choon lower-cholesterol packs. It concerns the shell surface, not the egg's contents or nutrition.

Sources and method

Checked 5–6 November 2026, re-audited 5 November 2026 from FairPrice egg category listings (Farmer Brown, Harvest Fields, Chew's King-Sized), Chew's brand site (Sakura) and Freedom Range brand site (Certified Humane, Jumbo/Lazada). Re-audit added 2 panels (Chew's Sakura, Freedom Range Cage-Free) and 3 new seen-but-not-verified entries; panelled total is now 20 products. Residual gap: Woodland, Golden Irish, Pasar, N&N Corn, Farmer Brown and Harvest Fields still have no farm/feed/certification detail retrieved, and Giant/Sheng Siong/Cold Storage/Donki import eggs still need an in-store check. Not 100% complete. Original sources: NTUC FairPrice product/category listings for Chew's, Seng Choon, N&N, Egg Story and house brands; Chew's brand/coverage (The Edge, ACES, Golden Bull) for feed and Certified Humane claims; Straits Times local-egg explainer for feed, first-born, carrot/golden-corn and pasteurisation detail; Egg Story official site for the liquid range and no-preservatives claim; Little Farms product pages for Barossa, Danaeg and own-brand free-range eggs. Nutrition addition, 5–6 November 2026: figures standardised to per 100 g where the source gives per-100 figures; per-serving-only figures are quoted exactly as printed and not converted to per 100 g; sugars shown are total sugars as printed, and salt = sodium × 2.5. Full per-fact source list, including nutrition sources, is in the accompanying research notes. Where a feed formula or ingredient section could not be verified, the page says so instead of filling the gap.
