My question: Is the chicken itself also “Demeter”-certified, or has it been intensively bred for egg production and/or genetically modified? Are we talking only about Demeter feed and husbandry, or is the chicken itself also a “traditional chicken” with little to no intensive breeding? Thank you
Thank you for your question, Fragezeichen. The product “Demeter Eggs 53+ Free-Range” refers to the farming conditions and the Demeter guidelines for organic agriculture. The label therefore means: The eggs come from free-range chickens raised in accordance with Demeter guidelines. It does not mean that the chicken itself is a “primitive chicken.” Best regards, your M-Infoline Team
So, to clarify, this is a high-yield laying hen that’s resistant to disease, raised under Demeter standards and fed Demeter feed, but the hen is, so to speak, highly bred or genetically modified, right? Thanks.
Hello Fragezeichen, thank you very much for your feedback. Demeter eggs also come from chickens bred from selectively developed lines. In agriculture, “unbred” wild animals are not used for food production—this also applies to Demeter.
According to the available information, this does not refer to genetically modified animals. “Selected breeding lines” refers to a selective breeding origin and not to genetic engineering.
The reason lies in egg-laying performance: The original wild hen lays significantly fewer eggs than today’s laying hens and is therefore unsuitable for reliable production. Organic and Demeter farms therefore also work with further-developed livestock breeds or lines.
In the Demeter sector, however, performance is not the only priority. Equally important are species-appropriate husbandry, suitable rearing conditions, and high standards for animal welfare and agriculture. The Demeter guidelines form the basis for this. Demeter also outlines a broader goal on its website:
In the long term, Demeter aims to establish an organically bred poultry breed. Demeter farms are already committed to this today. Demeter specifically mentions dual-purpose animals from organic breeding that are well-adapted to organic and biodynamic husbandry conditions. Dual-purpose animals are already being used on Demeter farms.
We hope this information is helpful to you! Best regards, your M-Infoline Team

Why doesn't Migros list all the 'plus points' for Demeter eggs - https://demeter.ch/demeter-produkte-2/eier/ ?
Hello NEMS, thank you for your question. We are not quite clear where you think we should mention these plus points? Is it about the packaging or the description here online? Best regards, your M-Infoline team
