Tipp des Tages : 17 June

Meaning of the marking of eggs


Code marking of chicken eggs is harmonized at European level. In addition to an indication of the origin of the eggs, there is also a code on the type of farming.
Code 3 : caged hens
Code 2 : hens on the ground : the chickens are free to move but can not go out and are raised in the same building as thousands of fellow creatures.
Code 1 : free-range hens : the chickens have access to the outside but remain in aviaries and are also bred with thousands of other hens.
Code 0 : organic hens : the chickens have access to the outside, are fed with organic food, and bred with less fellow creatures than the previous.

Almost all the eggs used in industrial products are type 3 eggs.
