The Egg Nutrition Center was established in 1984 for the purpose of providing commercial egg producers and processors, health promotion agencies, and consumers with a resource for scientifically accurate information on egg nutrition and the role of eggs in the health and nutrition of the American diet. The Center exists under an cooperative agreement between the American Egg Board and United Egg Producers. ENC is located in Washington, DC and communicates regularly with industry, government, the media, and a variety of health promotion and nutrition agencies.

ENC provides a mechanism by which scientific research on diet and health issues related to eggs in the diet can be directly evaluated and provided to the industry and the consumer. ENC monitors nutrition research reports and nutrition policy development, administers the Research Grant-in-Aid Program of the American Egg Board, reviews and summaries recent research reports in its quarterly newsletter, Nutrition Close-Up and makes available a variety of educational materials for health professionals and consumers at its exhibits at national meetings.
