German Hen Eggs

The product shown is fresh eggs produced in Germany. The code stamped on the egg, '2-DE-1400327', provides specific information about the origin and farming method. The '2' indicates barn housing (Bodenhaltung), 'DE' is the country code for Germany (Deutschland), and the following numbers identify the specific farm and stable. The carton also contains a best-before date (MHD) of March 11th.

Since these are fresh agricultural products, they are typically sold under private labels or directly from regional agricultural cooperatives. The packaging contains informational text about the KAT (Verein für kontrollierte alternative Tierhaltungsformen e.V.) certification system, which is a German-based organization that ensures traceability and animal welfare standards for eggs across Europe.
