http://www.tofutti.com/ which appears to be maintained by Helen Fernety,
whose name I often see contributing to this list.

I'm visiting Aus next January, and I've ordered vegan meals on my
flights as I can't take either dairy or eggs.

I don't usually talk about eggs on this list, but someone else mentioned
them recently and I would like to say that after suffering for years
every time I had a dental anaesthetic, I discovered that the anaesthetic
of choice of dentists, at least in the UK, contains egg. My dentist
switched (just when injecting me!) to using Scandonest 3% Plain, whose
active ingredient is Mepivacaine Hydrochloride, and instead of having at
least a week with a raw, throbbing injection site, I can't tell the next
day where the needle went in. I knew that there was egg in 'flu
injections, but never considered it for anaesthetics. My dentist was
aware of my food intolerances, but until I became suspicious (because a
hospital told me that their general anaesthetic of choice contains egg)
and asked him to check his ingredients, he wasn't aware that he was
administering a product containing egg. I had asked him more than once
if any of his other patients were complaining, as I thought he must have
had a bad batch, but nobody else was complaining, and neither he nor I
considered checking the ingredients. It does make you wonder about the
level of training dentists receive, although that particular dentist has
now retired, and training may have improved since he received his. I
certainly hope so, but hope that egg-intolerant/allergic subscribers to
this list take note of the non-food uses to which eggs are sometimes
put.

Helen.
