Talk:Egg marking

production level number design

The UK code had been there since 1999 and a national report showing the success in 2001. The EU regulation was resolved in 2003. From those indicators one might guess that British lion egg code was from 3 to 1 "prime". Along with EU harmonization the German tendency towards organic farming was added but the older UK numbering was kept - so that makes for a level 0 on top. However I have not found references for that theory. Guidod (talk) 14:36, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Weight classification

The article doesn't contain the "weight classification" (S-XL). --95.223.135.1 (talk) 07:05, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

External links

I removed the first two external links, since these links were broken. And changed the German site to the English language page. Unfortunately I could not find a more useful general EU search link, if anyone can contribute to this, please do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.148.4.171 (talk • contribs) 19:25, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

other nations

I'd be interested in learning about egg marking in other nations not currently in the article. I've seen it in the USA, despite it not being a universal practice or law. If I recall correctly it was merely the date the egg was laid or packaged. Why would some producers choose to label them and others not? Or alternatively, why would only some be required to do so? Also, my understanding is that eggs in the EU (except in parts of Scandinavia) are not required to have their cuticles washed off as they are in Australia, USA, Japan. How are they stamped when the shell hasn't been freed of grime? Cospelero (talk) 19:12, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
