Why Do Egg Farms Use Coding Machines?

Egg farms code eggs for three main reasons:

• Freshness – a visible date tells shoppers how fresh the egg is and builds trust.
• Traceability – batch and farm codes let a problem lot be traced quickly.
• Branding – a logo and graded mark make coded eggs stand out from generic ones.

Coding also helps meet food-safety regulations that require identification on eggs sold to supermarkets and export markets. In short, it turns a commodity into a recognizable, trusted product.
