The lack of required labeling led to the seizure of over 100,000 eggs in Portugal

The inspection showed that the producer's identification data was not included on the eggs packed and prepared for consumption. This action constitutes a breach of both national and European regulations. The errors identified led to the seizure of 112,590 eggs with an estimated value of EUR 15,000. Two administrative proceedings were also initiated due to the lack of required labeling. Legal aspect The applicable regulations require that consumers be provided with information regarding: - country of origin of the product, - conditions in which the chickens were bred, - the area where the eggs come from. They should be marked on packages and eggs using a special code. It is also mandatory to indicate the durability date, which cannot exceed 28 days from the date of abolition.
