Pasture-Raised
Pasture-raised chickens spend much of their time outdoors on grassy pastures where they can forage naturally. Many consumers choose pasture-raised eggs because they are often associated with higher animal welfare standards and more varied hen diets.
Since “pasture-raised” standards can differ by producer, third-party certifications can provide additional assurance.
Organic Eggs
Organic eggs come from hens fed certified organic feed and raised according to organic farming regulations. Organic standards generally prohibit routine antibiotic use and require access to the outdoors, though specific requirements vary by country.
Look for Third-Party Certifications
Independent certifications can help verify farming practices. Depending on where you live, you may find labels from organizations that inspect farms for animal welfare, organic production, or sustainable farming methods.
