The Cornucopia Institute only give you a rating of 1 out of 5 on your 365 Organic Eggs, they say that you are not being forthcoming with your supplier information. Can you please be more transparent so we as concerned consumers can feel better about buying your eggs? I will not be buying your 365 organic eggs until I feel comfortable about where they come from and how they are treated. Which family run farms are the chickens raised on?

But no! The whole industry and all the "humane" "free range" certification has become a joke. Humane can mean the hens are kept in a shed all their lives, and "free range" can mean they have a tiny cat-door at the end of a huge stinky shed leading to a 8 foot square caged concrete slab! Why cant whole foods stock eggs with a clear simple guarantee that the hens are raised in a pasture????? All I want is to buy eggs from REAL free range hens!

What are the qualifications? I am new to this game and have read that access can mean the chickens are confined in unhealthy numbers to a small warehouse room with no light, no windows, standing in their own filth, and a two by two exit in a corner means they're 'cage free' and 'free range' chickens. Thanks. What do “access to the outdoors” and “family farms” mean, specifically? What are the qualifications?

Why if someone is requesting a recipe that is vegan would you all sometimes put cage-free eggs? Thanks Hi

You are saying cage-free eggs. whether they are cage-free or not they are still dairy products aren’t they? Why if someone is requesting a recipe that is vegan would you all sometimes put cage-free eggs?

Now it is cage free only. It seems like Whole Foods is aspiring to be Half Foods. Next thing you know, you'll be co-opt by IGA.
