Explanation / Answer
C) Natural or All natural: This label indicates that the product is eggs. They can be minimally processed and contain no added ingredients. They are pretty much just eggs.
G) USDA-certified organic: This certification is audited and issued by the USDA's Natural Organic Program. The certified eggs indicate that the hens must be fed organic, vegetarian diets that are free of antibiotics and pesticides. They need to have outdoor access and live in uncaged barns. Although, the amount of time hens are allowed outdoors is undefined.
