El código de los huevos europeos (huevo: significado numeración o código de barras)

      Actualmente la ley vigente exige (desde enero de 2004) que los huevos europeos lleven un código impreso. Gracias a ese código podemos saber la procedencia del huevo: el tipo de explotación, el país, la provincia y la explotación de la que procede.

      El primer dígito que aparece en la numeración impresa nos indica el tipo de explotación. La clasificación actual contempla cuatro tipos distintos:

      0. Producción ecológica: las gallinas son criadas con libertad de movimiento (similar a las gallinas camperas, pero con menor densidad en el gallinero) y la alimentación debe proceder en un 80% (mínimo) de agricultura ecológica. El uso de medicamentos está restringido.

     1. Gallina campera: las gallinas tienen la posibilidad de salir al aire libre.
