A lot of of the labels on eggs are meaningless as to the welfare of the animals. Cage free eggs are often raised in giant warehouse concentration camps for instance.

Most of these terms are not regulated, I believe the only term that means anything is like pasture raised if I recall, and even that there is a lot of differences as to the welfare of the animals.

"Free Range" is regulated, but the threshold is unusually low compared to other countries.

Pastured or pasture raised is a much stronger standard but as far as i can tell not legally protected.
