I've reported it to the store because it's happened to me again. For several years now, during the month of April (is this an April fool's joke or is it linked to Easter), glue dots are inserted under 1 or 2 eggs, with the result, as always, that they break when they are taken out of the box: a waste.
Hello GFO, thank you for your message. To enable us to make further clarifications, please provide us with the following information:
- minimum storage date
- load or batch number
This number is usually found next to the product's shelf-life date, and usually begins with the letter L. It may also consist of a succession of letters and numbers. Thank you in advance for your valuable support. Sincerely, your M-Infoline team
Hello, unfortunately I don't have the box anymore but I bought them on April 19th from MM Vibert for an expiry date of about mid-May. I realized the deception at the end of April. Yours faithfully
In addition, I passed on the information to Mr Rieu on May 6.
Hello GFO, thank you once again for your inquiry and your patience.
We have discussed your request with the relevant specialist department. It emerged that we do not use glue dots in our packaging. Eggs sticking to the carton can have the following causes:
- The egg may have a crack due to packaging or logistical handling (palletizing, preparation, transport, etc.) - the egg white then runs off easily. As a result, the dried egg-white, and therefore the egg, sticks to the cardboard box or bumps.
- The thin-shelled egg is slightly moist when packed and sticks to the cardboard box due to dried condensation water.
Without photos, it is unfortunately difficult to give a more precise answer to your request. We ask for your understanding. We assure you that we will keep a close eye on this matter. Yours sincerely, the M-Infoline team

Are IP-Suisse products GMO-free? What is the situation with these eggs? Are the hens treated with substances such as antibiotics?
Hello Rushena, thank you for your question. Again, according to Bio Suisse guidelines for organic egg production, the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and products produced with the help of GMOs is not permitted. The preventive use of antibiotics is not permitted. Micarna does not use any antibiotic substances as a preventive measure for reasons of animal welfare or human medicine. Only an officially certified veterinarian can prescribe antibiotics in the event of illness and only if there is a risk of illness in the herd. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

What feed do the hens get? I am asking against the background of the nutrient deficiency problem in intensive livestock farming and would like to buy eggs for which the animals receive a variety of feed. Thank you
Hello Sbaum, thank you for your inquiry. The following information on the nutrition of laying hens applies not only to chickens that lay eggs for Migros, but also to all small-scale chicken farms. The composition of chicken feed can vary slightly due to the availability of ingredients: - Cereals: mainly maize, wheat, possibly also proportions of barley or other cereals - Vegetable fats and oils serve as an additional source of energy - Soya is usually used as a source of protein. In particular, soya cake, which is considered a high-quality protein carrier and is a by-product of soya oil production. - For a balanced and needs-based diet, chicken feed also contains minerals (lime for the egg shell) and trace elements. Kind regards, your M-Infoline team

Why have all the eggs sold in stores been laid for almost 2 weeks? We should be able to have fresh eggs!
I also ask myself this question from time to time. And all egg categories are concerned.
Hello Elmo-20, thank you for your question. As a general rule, eggs are transported from the producer to the processing plant, via the distributors, before arriving in the stores. The distributor collects several days' worth of eggs from the producer (for logistical and cost reasons). On arrival, the eggs must be no more than 3 days old. The distributor then pecks the eggs, sorts them and packs them. Packing is subject to the eggs being no more than 6 days old. By the time they are delivered to the distribution center, they must be no more than 8 days old (including weekends). A further 1 to 2 days elapse until they reach the store (i.e. the eggs are a maximum of 10 days old). The age of the eggs we actually buy depends, of course, on how quickly we put them on the shelf and sell them. For dishes prepared with raw eggs in particular, we recommend using eggs no older than 21 days (after laying). With best regards, your M-Infoline team
I've read in my recipe books that for dishes with raw eggs, they shouldn't be older than 9 days from the day they were laid, and that after 15 days, the yolk and white should be cooked thoroughly, just like for omelettes! So all the eggs sold at the Migros in Balexert that day, except for 1 kind that was already 8 days old, were not really recommended for eating raw or with little cooking, boiled eggs for example. I think that's a lot!
