Even a household staple like eggs are not immune to these bloated words.

Here’s an explanation of some of the most misleading terms.

Farm fresh, cage-free, all natural, hormone free, etc.

They never seem to end.

No hormones:Means nothing and is completely misleading because it’s illegal to give poultry hormones.

Free-range:Means the chickens are cage-free, but only have “access to the outdoors.”

Usually a small screened off patio or enclosure.

The upside is that some terms mean exactly what they say.
