organic eggs


Explanation:
complicado... talvez "organic eggs", dado que sao "produzidos" de forma natural, ao contrário dos outros. Pensei em "farm eggs", mas estes podem ter muitos aditivos/hormônios, o que nao é o caso dos ovos caipira

Should a Vegan Shell Out
for Free-Range Eggs?


What is the vegan position on free-range eggs?



"Free-range" is not a legal industry term; therefore it is essentially meaningless. Farmers use the term to imply that they practice a more humane standard of production but, in reality, there is no regulation regarding how the word is interpreted or used. Although most consumers imagine free-range hens have access to the outdoors with plenty of sunlight, vegetation, and normal social interaction, to most egg producers, the "range" is simply a bigger cage than those in which battery-caged hens are kept.

acho que o free range na verdade sao os "ovos estilo caipira", mas nao os caipira de fato:
Assunto : Registro do Produto “Ovos Caipira” ou “Ovos Tipo ou Estilo Caipira” ou “Ovos Colonial” ou “Ovos Tipo ou Estilo Colonial”.
-Considerando que cada vez mais estão presentes no mercado competitivo de alimentos produtos obtidos em sua forma natural.

neutral  Rachel Fell: In UK you can't call them organic unless they're produced under organic conditions;free range = birds must have access to outdoors, etc.,by law;"country eggs maybe"?meaningless, but...(ciwf.org.uk/campaigns/international_dev/international_contacts.html);)

  -> Exactly that's what makes the translation so difficult, because "original caipira eggs" are always supposed to be organic, but people sell "fake caipira eggs" (and call them “free range”) just pretending that you bought “real caipira eggs".
