Supermarkets require coded eggs because a clear date and identity make shelf-life checks, recalls and audits far easier. Coded eggshells also let retailers verify freshness at the shelf and reduce waste disputes.
Many retailers set their own standards for legibility, color and placement, and they may require traceability QR codes for premium or imported lines. Clean, consistent coding helps suppliers pass onboarding inspections.
For suppliers, meeting these standards is the price of shelf access, and good coding is a competitive advantage.
