They're cage free/organic. Those are always more expensive.

Do people in the US buy caged eggs?! In the UK free range is almost a ubiquitous minimum.

The US is horrendously backwards on animal welfare.

Not organic, and cage free < free range < pasture raised

... < just not eating eggs

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

cage free is better than nothing, but if it were organic it would say so and not just cage free I suspect. I'm not even sure they're free-range, maybe they're just all in a barn with no access to outside fields?

even if they were ecological, to me that seems expensive

People eating caged eggs in 2025??

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah. Complaining about the cost of top shelf eggs is kinda disingenuous.
