The Organic egg captivated the Finnish heart

Most of the organic eggs laid in Finland are packed at Munax. About 4 % of the production is organic eggs, and the share is yearly increasing. The Finnish people have discovered the organic egg.

Organic hens, compared to the regular hen, have more space with a stocking density of 6 hens/m2. The organic hen is also provided with a perch and a nest box. There has to be windows at least 5% of the total floor area used and in summertime the hens have access to pasture.

Organic hens are fed with organically produced feed. The feed consists of domestic grains such as oats, barley and wheat. As source for protein beans, peas and soya are used. The diet is supplemented with cold pressed rape- and linseed oil. All of these ingredients are organically produced.

The size of the organic chicken yard is limited to a maximum flock size of 3000 birds. The chickens are also provided snacks such as hey or carrots. We at Munax feel responsible for the well being of the chicken, therefore the organic production is the right choice.

The organic egg is categorized at Munax into four different weight categories: XL (78 g/pcs), L (68 g/pcs), M (58 g/pcs) and S (48 g/pcs). M and L category eggs end up in egg cartons on the market shelves when XL and S size eggs are served in restaurants and canteens to organic egg lovers. The egg is transilluminated and photographed in the process of packing to ensure the highest quality for our customers. The eggs are also stamped with codes for producer-, way of production and country of origin. Thanks to this we can trace the egg all the way back to its home farm.

The organic egg tastes organic because the taste from the organic food given to the hen is transferred into the egg. For example is the yolk much darker in eggs laid by a hen that has eaten lots of grass. The organic eggs packed by Munax are labeled Laitilan Kanatarha. The package size is 6 and 10 eggs.
