Pete and Gerry's Organic Grade A Large Eggs - 12ct

We’re very sorry for any concern that these double yolks may have caused, and we’d like to take a moment to explain what you may have noticed.  Double yolk eggs are fairly rare (about 1/1000) and tend to be very, very large - in fact, they’re typically graded as “super jumbos” due to their size. These eggs primarily come from younger flocks that are just learning how to lay eggs. All the farm fresh eggs go through the sorting machine together and, once they are identified as super jumbos, are sent to the first packing station where they are hand packed because they are too big for the machine to pack. They are then packaged as jumbos, even though they are technically super jumbos. All day the hand packing station runs, filling jumbo cartons with super jumbos. These super jumbos are over 50% double yolks. As these cartons are filled, they all go into the same case. So, even though they are rare, double yolk eggs often wind up in the same cartons. We hope this helps explain why you encountered multiple double yolks!

We're so sorry to hear about your disappointment. We take great care in inspecting every egg and carton before they leave us, so this isn’t something we take lightly. We'd like to hear your feedback and welcome you to submit to our consumer contact form!

We chose our original 100% recycled plastic cartons based on third-party research showing they were more sustainable than most options—diverting tons of plastic from landfills along the way. But we hear you: many are looking to cut plastic entirely. That’s why we introduced our new hybrid paper cartons—for those wanting another option. We’re always testing new materials and appreciate your feedback as we work toward the most sustainable packaging possible.

Thank you for your feedback - Our 100% recycled plastic (rPET) cartons have been found to be more eco-friendly than many other options, including paper and cardboard. Plus, over a third of our cartons are recycled again, which is higher than the national recycling average. Instead of creating new waste, our cartons are made from recycled plastic, like water and soda bottles. By reusing materials that might otherwise end up in landfills or the ocean, we’re giving them a second life and making a positive impact on the planet.

Thank you for reaching out! While free-range and pasture-raised farming offers many benefits, it also introduces natural variability in yolk color due to differences in each hen’s diet and grazing habits. Additionally, factors like flock age can contribute to these variations. Rest assured, regardless of yolk color, our eggs still provide the same high-quality nutrition and essential vitamins you expect.
