What do the Codes on the Egg Mean?
Is your egg organic? Is it a roaming chicken egg? Is it a chicken egg raised in a cage-free environment in the henhouse? Or a cage-raised chicken egg?
According to the Turkish Food Codex report on eggs, the codes on the eggs provide information about breeding. It is automatically given by the system as 0 (zero) for organic farming, 1 for free range (access to open circulation) farming, 2 for non-cage farming in henhouse and 3 for caged farming (Example: 0TR060000060000-01 for organic farming).
The color, smell and taste of egg do not give accurate information about its cultivation.
