Morning All
 We where talking in the pub the other day and got round to the wife chucks and there eggs and I said I had been told it was illegal for shops to sell double yolk eggs. The reason being that they dont meet the EEC description of an egg.
ie one yolk some white in a shell.
I know it sounds daft but is it true I wouldnt put any thing passed the EEC. So do any know if I was getting my leg pulled

Bucketman, I don't know the answer to your question but how are they going to know they are double yolk unless they crack them all?

Sadly its true bucketman, i have worked for a few poultry farms over the years and double yolkers were taken out, obviously some got through but most were too obvious. They were given to the staff which gladly took home. Now whether it was an EEC ruling or not i couldnt tell you but i would suspect it was.

You used to be able to buy half a dozen double yolked eggs. Of course that was a while back when there was a Great for a reason in front of Britain.
