SAN FRANCISCO – A federal appeals court has rejected a lawsuit that sought to require labels on egg cartons indicating the conditions in which the chickens were raised.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday ruled that several federal agencies had acted reasonably in rejecting the labeling regulations.
The plaintiffs — two animal advocacy groups and six egg consumers — wanted the cartons to bear the terms "Free-Range Eggs," ''Cage-Free Eggs" or "Eggs from Caged Hens."
