What are cage-free white eggs?

Cage-free white eggs are sourced from laying hens that roam freely in indoor spaces. According to USDA cage-free guidelines, these hens must be able to move freely around their space, with full access to water and food. They must also have scratch areas, nesting boxes, perches, litter, and predator protection measures.

Difference between cage-free white eggs and cage-free brown eggs

The only major difference between cage-free white eggs and cage-free brown eggs is their color. This color is a function of the laying hen breed and entails no nutritional differences. Brown eggs may have a thicker shell, and they may be more expensive than white eggs since brown egg hen breeds require more feed, increasing production costs.

Why are white eggs white?

Egg colors depend on the hen breed. For example, common commercial egg-laying hens like White Rock, Cornish, and Leghorns lay white eggs, whereas Rhode Island Reds, New Hampshire, and Plymouth Rock hens lay brown eggs.

Brown eggs are brown because their laying hens add a brown pigment from their hemoglobin, called protoporphyrin IX, when their eggs go through their oviducts. White eggs are white due to calcium carbonate comprising their shell. 

Cage free white eggs certifications

Cage-free white eggs will bear a seal from the USDA, which oversees cage-free guidelines and compliance. Cage-free white eggs may also be certified by United Egg Producers (UEP), and a UEP seal indicates this certification. Product that also meets pasture-raised standards will bear a Certified Humane® seal from American Humane (AH) or Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC).
