FAQ

Are Printed Duck and Quail Eggs Safe to Eat?

Yes. The same food-grade, certified ink used on chicken eggs is safe on duck, quail and other edible eggs. It stays on the shell surface and does not reach the inside.

Because duck and quail shells can differ in porosity, reputable suppliers validate their inks for egg contact generally, not just one species. Always use certified food-grade cartridges.

Shoppers can treat coded specialty eggs exactly like uncoded ones: cook or refrigerate normally, and there is no need to eat the printed shell.
