Food Traceability Codes/Eggs

Labels

Some labels indicate that the eggs inside are “Natural”; others “Free Range” or “Certified Organic.”.

Russian GOST 31654-2012 "Food chicken eggs. Specifications" specifies what to print on eggs to specify their shelf life and mass, and what must be printed on the label.

Proprietary Codes

There are some codes that enable the consumer to get some information. They can be printed on the packaging if those are packager codes, but there are also Egg codes printed directly on eggs. We store everything in the packager code field for the moment.
