Eggs can be traced
https://www.was-steht-auf-dem-ei.de/en/index.php


In the EU eggs need to be stamped with an egg code.

The first integer codes the production method:

0 = organic egg production
1 = free-range eggs
2 = deep litter indoor housing
3 = cage farming

Next comes the ISO code for the country where the egg was produced (DE/NL/DK/FR, etc).

Next comes the unique registration number of the facility where the egg was produced. This is based on national or or even local schemes.

Several tools exist to look up the code I found in my fridge.
