Trace My Egg makes it easier to trace which farm your eggs have come from by using a 5-digit code that is ‘stamped’ onto each egg.
The egg stamp shows the production farming method and the farm that the egg has come from which can be identified by their unique individual code.
All farms in the Trace My Egg programme are independently audited annually by a third party and they also agree to random audits as part of the programme’s ongoing integrity and verification system.
Enter the 5-digit egg stamp code. here. e.g. FR123
This code is always featured first, and will always start with the production method code, being either OR(Organic), FR(Free Range), BN(Barn), CG(Cage) or CL(Colony), and is always followed by a three-digit numerical code. You only need to add these five digits into the Trace My Egg system.
Some farmers will add additional information to their egg stamps for their own, more detailed traceability opportunities, such as the shed that the egg was collected from. Providing this level of detail on an egg stamp is not a requirement of the egg stamping programme at this time and should not be entered in to the Trace My Egg system.
