Truth in Egg Labelling of Eggs from Caged Hens
Taking Action: Truth in Labeling Eggs from Caged Hens
The petition, co-filed by Compassion Over Killing and Penn Law Animal Law Project urges the FDA to establish a uniform, market-wide regulation mandating the labeling of egg production methods on egg cartons (i.e. eggs from caged hens) to protect consumers from false and misleading advertising that, for example, intends eggs are not from factory farms when they are.

We the undersigned strongly support the petition requesting regulation of egg carton labeling (Docket # 2006P - 0394: Change Labeling Requirements for Eggs Sold in the U.S.), requiring egg producers to disclose on their cartons whether the hens producing the eggs were caged is necessary to protect consumers and prevent confusion in the grocery store.
Thank you for reviewing this letter.
