Those wrappers do not contain egg but in English, I heard Viet-Americans confusingly call that style of chả giò "Vietnamese egg rolls"; Chinese egg rolls are made from a super thin pasta-like wrapper made with egg and wheat flour. I have a chả giò cookbook from Vietnam and all the wrappers, made with rice or wheat or rice and wheat, are called bánh tráng. And if you're shopping in a Little Saigon type of enclave, you may come across some interesting options for rice paper.

Traditionally, rice paper was made from a batter of slightly fermented rice, water plus salt. The batter was steamed on top of fabric stretched over a pot of simmering water into thin rounds. The resulting rice sheets (similar to banh cuon) were dried on woven mats. The dried rice paper rounds could be stored and then rehydrated to soften and use. All of this explains the thinness of rice paper, the woven pattern on each one, and why you can eat rice paper as is!
