This morning we have visited one of Budapest’s open markets, Újpesti piac. We were looking for eggs coded 0 or 1*. We have experienced 0 or 1 code eggs are simply unavailable, we have found some code 2 eggs, but the majority is code 3. We have been redirected to major supermarkets or has been offered help for appointment.

* The first digit of the egg code is reflecting the way the chicken are held on the farm. 0 is the best eco egg, 1 means the animals held quite free, 2 means a large scale farm but no cage, 3 means small cages.
