Hi guys,
I found, inside an egg box, a description of what the inkjet printed numbers mean
First number indicated what kind of life the hens are living.
0= Organic
1= Free Range
2= Barn
3= Caged
Next letters are country of origin
ie UK
and the last string of numbers is the farm number.
Intrigued, I went through the fridge for my other eggs, and even the same boxes have loads of different farms in.
However, that's happens in many industry.
So, I think the first numbers help the most, especially when buying from large baskets of eggs in the local farmers markets or your local farm shop
0= Organic
1= Free Range
2= Barn
3= Caged
Hope that helps you all...cos I actively avoid Caged, and that's easier now.
