Packaging of EGGS

avatar

These are the eggs I purchase from my local grocers. The egg industry has come a long way in terms of packaging.

Take this one, for instance. The box is so ornate, thus more attractive, so it stands out from the rest of the eggs in the egg refrigerated case.

Phrases such as:

Happy Hens
Tended by Hand
Small Family Farms
Ethical Eggs
Made with Fresh Air and Sunshine
Freedom
Forages Outdoors Year Round
108 sq ft per Hen of Rotated Pastures
Pasture Raised

The safe handling instructions states that:
To prevent illness from bateria, keep eggs refrigerated, cook eggs until yolks are firm, and cook foor containing eggs thoroughly.

It states the Net weight in ounces, in pounds, and grams.

And it is Certified Humane, Raised & Handled.

Most importantly, it states who distributes it and their address, an a way that it is clear.

Now, when you open a typical egg container, you see nothing but the eggs. And there is nothing wrong with that.👇

In contrast, you open this 👇 container of eggs, and you see all sorts of important information!

First and foremost are the nutritional facts!

Importance of Nutritional Facts in Labeling
Nutritional facts in labeling are crucial for consumers to make informed decisions about their diet. They provide standardized information about the nutritional content of packaged foods, helping consumers understand what they are consuming. The FDA regulates the Nutrition Facts label, ensuring it reflects current scientific understanding and is accessible to all. The label's updates in 2016 aim to make it more relevant and useful, transforming how consumers shop, eat, and think about food.
Food and Drug Administration

👆 It also states that it "Meets the Humane Farm Animal Care Program standards, which include nutritious diet without antibiotics, animals raised with shelter, resting areas, sufficient space, and the ability to engage in natural behavious."

Oh, and enclosed in the packaging of the eggs is a simple one-page newsletter, with a recipe and a special feature: Bird of the Month. Isn't it NEAT!!

If you want to see the farm where the eggs came from, just follow the directions.

The farm name is found on the side of the carton: Foxy Layers
So I entered that in my computer browser...

And viola!


I took a video of the farm in real time. I don't know how else to show you.

Overall, I'm impressed!
Aren't you?

You buy the same brand I do @silversaver888 !lol They have really fresh eggs and they come with such a rich, dark yolk. Plus they are truly free range and you know the animals aren't being mistreated which is important to me.

Great post!

That is important to me too, @thebighigg!
These eggs are the first to go. I always buy the jumbo eggs (or extra-large) when they have them. Large and medium eggs are too small!

Yes, they are tad higher, @sirfx, because the hens are raised the traditional way.

That is very impressive @silversaver888 !👍😊
I don’t think I’ve seen an egg carton with this much information before!
Quality and how they are raised does make a difference! We try to buy locally from our neighbor at his farm stand if possible, because they take great pride in taking care of their chickens!👍😍😊

Buying from a local farm that cares for the chickens/hens is the best, @silvertop!

I took a trip to the countryside and got eggs straight from the source.

This chicken in the picture looks like an mafioso. hahahaaa

I visited pig pens and farms, and I have family members who sell eggs as well. Besides being natural, they also sell the famous free-range eggs.
