About GRADE A CAGE FREE EXTRA LARGE BROWN EGGS
Meijer Grade A Cage Free Extra Large Brown Eggs are shell eggs sold under the Meijer private label with a cage-free production designation and brown shell coloring. Cage-free indicates that the hens are not kept in individual battery cages and have some freedom of movement within an enclosed barn environment, though outdoor access is not guaranteed under this label classification.
The ingredient is shell eggs, Grade A, the standard USDA quality designation indicating fresh eggs with clean, uncracked shells, firm whites, and centered yolks. Brown eggs come from specific breeds — primarily Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks — and are nutritionally equivalent to white eggs despite popular consumer perception to the contrary. Extra large eggs weigh a minimum of 27 ounces per dozen per USDA sizing standards. No additives or preservatives are present.
Nutritionally, a 56-gram serving (one extra large egg) provides approximately 80 calories, 5 grams of fat, no carbohydrates, and 7 grams of protein. Per 100 grams, values are 143 calories, 8.9 grams of fat, and 12.5 grams of protein. Eggs are among the most nutrient-dense foods available, providing all nine essential amino acids, choline for brain health, vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, and riboflavin.
Cage-free eggs appeal to consumers who prioritize animal welfare standards in their food purchasing decisions. These eggs are suitable for all cooking applications — scrambled, fried, poached, baked, or used as a binding and emulsifying ingredient in recipes. The Meijer private-label positioning offers cage-free eggs at a lower price than many specialty brands.
