Tag: Hormone free eggs

It has been illegal to use hormones in all poultry production in the United States since the 1950s, a fact often overlooked by consumers. This federal regulation means that the claim of 'hormone-free' poultry is not a special feature exclusive to a specific brand but a standard practice across the entire industry.

Over 50 years ago, the FDA in the United States legally banned the use of added hormones in all poultry production. Therefore, every egg you purchase, regardless of brand or label, belongs to the category of which eggs have no hormones, making the 'no added hormones' claim a marketing redundancy.
