What does the code on eggs mean?

The codes found on eggs actually function like an identification number for each individual egg. Thanks to these codes, consumers can easily learn under what conditions the egg was produced, and in which city and facility it was packaged. While this information helps consumers make more informed choices, it also plays an important role in terms of food safety and traceability.

'denetle!', one of Turkey's digital inspection platforms, draws attention to the importance of these codes. The platform examines various products, ingredients, and complaints in order to ensure that consumers are better informed about products. The codes on eggs serve as an important guide, especially for consumers who are sensitive about food safety.

Egg codes generally include the production method (e.g., organic, free-range, cage), the place of production, and the facility number. In this way, consumers can shop according to their preferred production method and carry out safer consumption by knowing which facility the eggs come from.
