Hello everyone!
We wanted to ask for your help with three specific actions regarding the Egg Labeling Bill being discussed in Congress. This month is crucial.
Currently, the Egg Labeling Bill in Peru is before the Consumer Rights Committee.
This committee will vote on it in the coming weeks, and we expect it to be passed to the full Congress for final approval.

FIRST:
Important update on the Egg Labeling Bill! A new substitute text was presented that responds point by point to the MIDAGRI arguments.
Here we explain it easily.

SECOND:
Will the price of eggs go up? FALSE. The PL doesn't require changes in breeding or processing. It only asks for transparency: indicating whether the egg was raised in a cage, shed, or pasture. Furthermore, bulk eggs are excluded. @waldemar_cerron @katy_ugarte @rosiotorressali @edgartellom
THIRD:
Does it affect small producers? NO. The PL excludes those with 1,000 hens or fewer. It only applies to medium and large producers. @waldemar_cerron @katy_ugarte @rosiotorressali @edgartellom
FOURTH:
Do all animal husbandry methods guarantee animal welfare? NO. Hens in cages are kept immobilized. This system was banned in the EU more than 10 years ago. The PL doesn't prohibit it, it just informs. @waldemar_cerron @katy_ugarte @rosiotorressali @edgartellom
FIFTH:
Why is it important? Because information empowers. Consumers have the right to know how what they consume was produced. @waldemar_cerron @katy_ugarte @rosiotorressali @edgartellom
Thank you very much!
