In a world where consumers and food service professionals are increasingly concerned about the origins of the products they use, traceability and transparency have become inescapable criteria. At Eureden, we are committed to offering concrete guarantees about the provenance and quality of our Cocotine brand egg products. We put tangible actions in place to ensure total transparency, from chicken farming to egg processing.
Find out how our co-operative’s rigorous organisation, and the dedication of our upstream quality, veterinary and technical department, guarantee responsible, engaged production.
100% traceable eggs, from farm to table
Traceability is central to our approach. Each of our co-operative’s eggs is tracked throughout its journey, giving our clients – restaurateurs, manufacturers and distributors – access to precise, accurate information about its provenance, thanks to:
– A batch number printed on our packaging, guaranteeing the origins of our eggs, the farming methods employed, the feed received by the hens and the quality controls performed
– Traceability sheets for professionals, accompanying each product and containing all the technical details about its provenance, the health checks performed and the production date.
This end-to-end traceability allows restaurateurs to reassure their customers and incorporate our products into their responsible approaches.
Veterinary and quality support in the service of animal welfare
Our farmers are not alone. They receive daily support from our technical team of veterinarians, quality engineers and animal nutrition experts.
Our animal husbandry specialists play a vital role in supporting our farmers, to ensure they can produce high-quality eggs in a way that respects animal welfare and meets chefs’ expectations.
- Guidance for farmers on optimal practices
Regular farm visits:
- Inspection of the hens’ living conditions (space, light, ventilation and comfort)
- Verification of access to outdoor ranges at free-range and organic farms
- Monitoring of equipment and good farming practices
Monitoring of the hens’ feed and health:
- Recommendations for a balanced, nutrient-rich diet to produce eggs of superior quality
- Preventive veterinary exams to avert illness and unnecessary antibiotic treatments
- Institution of alternative solutions to boost the hens’ immunity (herbal medicine, probiotics, etc.)
Animal welfare and compliance with specifications:
- Compliance with labels (Œufs de France, Label Rouge, organic, free-range, etc.)
- Farmer training on best animal welfare practices
- Internal audits, in anticipation of official inspections and to ensure responsible farming methods are being applied
2. Guaranteed egg quality for your kitchen
Meticulous monitoring of traceability and health standards:
- Inspections carried out at every stage, from egg laying to packaging
- Batch identification for perfect traceability (so an egg’s provenance is always known)
- Verification of compliance with European food safety standards
Regular egg testing:
- Laboratory testing to verify the eggs’ freshness, shell quality and colour of the yolk
- Testing to ensure the absence of any contaminants (pesticides, drug residues, etc.)
Waste reduction:
- Optimisation of production cycles to ensure a consistent supply
- Processing of off-sized eggs into liquid egg products (liquid egg yolk, egg white and whole egg) for zero-waste use in kitchens
- Natural, inspected chicken feed
Our hens eat GMO-free feed that is sourced from audited suppliers and that complies with our specifications, to guarantee the quality of their eggs.
Fewer antibiotics, more prevention: by monitoring each individual farm, we have reduced the use of antibiotics to what is strictly necessary, preferring natural alternatives wherever possible.
Our animal welfare commitments are more than just words: they are confirmed by independent audits and recognised certifications, guaranteeing the high standards of our farms and our products.
Responsible production: Reducing our environmental impact
At Cocotine, we know that transparency doesn’t end with traceability. We are also committed to shrinking our environmental impact by rethinking the way we produce and distribute our egg products.
Eco-designed packaging: Our liquid egg containers are 100% recyclable and compactable to reduce kitchen waste.
Optimised logistics: We group our deliveries to minimise our CO₂ emissions.
Integrated resource management: Our processing sites have anti-waste strategies in place, involving the recovery of co-products derived from egg production processes.
To take all this a step further, we work with agroecology associations and experts to innovate in the direction of ever more sustainable practices.
Concrete actions for increased transparency
We made the choice to take an open, educational approach so that anyone can understand how we work.
Immersive tours: Discover our farms and our production sites through 360° videos and farmer testimonials on Cocotine’s website.
Tours: We organise meetings with our clients and partners to explain our approaches and answer any questions.
Ethical and quality charter: Our commitments are recorded in a Cocotine charter, equivalent to Level 2 environmental certification in France, which we share with our clients and distributors.
