The code on eggs?

  Every egg needs to be marked in the EU, to indicate the method of production (organic vs. free-range vs. cage) and country of origin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_marking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_marking

No, they do not, even if they're so-called "free range". I don't know about the EU, but in the US that term is marketing bullshit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_range#Free-range_poultry https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_range#Free-range_poultr...

  EU regulates what conditions "free range" has to meet to be called like that. I am sorry that it's different in US.
