Egg stamping now compulsory
From this week, all eggs sold in Victoria must be stamped with a farm identification code. The numbers have been issued by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries to improve food safety. It should also help to reduce egg substitution.

Phil,
Very disappointing to find unstamped 'Family Homestead' free range eggs on sale at Coles Patterson Lakes. After 2 and a 1/2 years to get ready I would have expected better from a free range farmer.
The are plenty of egg producers out there claiming free range status. Don't believe labels, you won't find genuine free range eggs in major supermarkets.
