CSM Ingredients confirms Egg’ N Easy’s lower carbon footprint  

LUXEMBOURG – CSM Ingredients Group, a Nexture company specializing in bakery solutions, has validated the significantly reduced carbon footprint of its Egg’ n Easy egg reduction product through independent assessment, announced late 2025.   

Collaborating with sustainability intelligence platform HowGood, the study confirms Egg’ n Easy, diluted in water as a baking substitute, emits just 0.38 kg CO₂e per kg, approximately 91% lower than conventional liquid egg’s 4.54 kg CO₂e per kg.   

This data empowers food manufacturers to slash emissions in baked goods while maintaining performance, amid egg supply volatility and EU sustainability mandates.   

CSM, headquartered in Luxembourg with global facilities including recent integrations from Nexture’s portfolio like Vitalfood by Italcanditi, developed Egg’ n Easy using plant-based expertise for cakes, muffins, brioches, waffles, pancakes, and sponges.   

The powder enables partial or total egg replacement, preserving texture, structure, and taste without reformulation, while addressing cost pressures from avian flu disruptions.   

CEO Christian Sobolta emphasized transparency: “𝐴𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑒𝑠, 𝑤𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑦.

The assessment, leveraging HowGood’s vast food sustainability database, accounts for full lifecycle emissions and highlights Egg’ n Easy’s edge in Scope 3 reporting for brands targeting carbon neutrality.   

Actual reductions in finished products vary by recipe, typically 20-50% egg substitution, but the baseline metric aids precise labelling under emerging regulations like the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.   

This aligns with CSM’s broader sustainability push, including carbon-neutral facilities and regenerative agriculture initiatives.   

For industrial bakers facing a 15% increase in egg prices, Egg’ n Easy offers dual benefits: economic resilience and environmental credentials.   

Industry peers like Ingredion and Tate & Lyle pursue similar validations, but CSM’s 91% claim sets a benchmark in the bakery egg alternatives space.  

Egg’ n Easy is part of CSM Ingredients group’s portfolio of egg reduction solutions designed for a wide range of bakery applications, including cakes, muffins, brioches, waffles, pancakes and sponge products.  

Developed through a combination of bakery expertise and plant-based ingredient know-how, the Egg’ n Easy range enables partial or total egg replacement while preserving texture, structure, and taste.  

The carbon footprint validation further strengthens Egg’ n Easy’s role as a value-added solution, combining technical performance, cost efficiency, and positive environmental impact.  

Analysts project egg replacers capturing 12% of the €10 billion (US$11.67B) bakery additives market by 2030, driven by vegan claims and net-zero goals.   

By quantifying impact, CSM positions Egg’ n Easy as indispensable for Scope 3 reductions, reinforcing Nexture’s leadership in sustainable food systems amid climate scrutiny.
