JUST Egg is a popular egg replacement product made from plants. JUST Egg is sold at Walmart, Amazon, and other food retailers. JUST Egg advertises that it contains 5g of protein and no cholesterol. JUST Egg is "cholesterol-free, egg-free, dairy-free, non-GMO, and allergy-friendly."

While JUST Egg is not labeled gluten-free, the product does not contain any gluten ingredients. Also, the company does label all known food allergens present in their product. Soy is the only allergen listed on the label for JUST Egg.
