In a world where convenience often comes at the expense of nutrition, Egglife Foods( Egglife) is transforming the future of food for the better. Despite launching just seven years ago, Egglife is taking the food and beverage industry by storm with a unique, revolutionary concept that reimagines meal lunchtime staples with a low-calorie, highprotein twist. The company was founded by Peggy Johns, who, driven by her own health needs, discovered a new groundbreaking way to decrease calories and carbs without compromising on taste.

She was
diagnosed with a series of health issues that she set out to solve, so she spent years creating recipes, figuring out a way to replace wheat flour with egg whites. Impressed by her idea, they embarked on setting up Egglife as a standalone business, which is when Andrea and I joined.
“ We launched our Egg White Wraps in early 2020 and they proved to be massively successful. Fast forward to today, we operate in the US and Canada, soon to be in Mexico, and are doing around $ 60 million in annual retail sales.”
