Testing reveals Vital Farms eggs contain more linoleic acid than canola oil
A polyunsaturated fatty acid known to promote inflammation.
The report found that 23.5% of the fats in a Vital Farms egg are linoleic acid, which is higher than the 19% found in canola oil.
Since selling to BlackRock, Vital Farms has switched their feed from pasture forage to a soy blend. To support growing sales, all their 575 family farms now rely on this supplemental soy feed.
When eggs are labeled as pasture-raised, this might now mean they are fed soy and kept in cages with only temporary access to pasture.
Unfortunately, this situation is all too common with brands that sell out.
