Despite the fact that the last lot of regs about stamping eggs by registered
producers has still not beein implemented properly [ there has not been
enough equipment available !] they are tinkering again
Now in addition to each egg being stamped - each box must now have an
explanation of what has been stamped on the egg. Each box must have the type
of production more clearly written.
Interestingly the RSPCA are up in arms about the labelling - I always
thought this was trading standards area of expertise.
