I can't talk for the US, but organic labels usually have pretty strict requirements. Enforcement is often lacking though, but it is definitely not just a marketing spin and guaranteed suffering.

AFAIK, "Organic" usually just restricts what the chicken has been eating/injected with, not it's living conditions.

In the US, maybe. In Europe there are many restrictions regarding living conditions as well, meaning “organic” is usually the best option if you prioritize animal welfare.

... and even then I find them pretty bad in quality compared to fresh eggs from the nearby farmer, I must say, from my own experience.

[-] f314@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I mean, that’s pretty hard to compete with 😅

[-] gandalf_der_12te 2 points 2 months ago

yeah, they're pretty great. sadly i haven't had a good egg in a long time (farmer quit), so I've stopped eating them.

It very much does here in Europe & Germany. But like I said, I can't speak on the US in that regard. Usually the US is much worse when it comes to regulations though.
