Which specific U.S. store labels scored poorly on the Cornucopia Egg Scorecard for transparency and farming practices?

Kirkland Signature and Great Value

In assessments scrutinizing the transparency and actual welfare practices behind U.S. organic labeling claims, certain major store brands received notably low evaluations on metrics like the Cornucopia Egg Scorecard. Specifically, Kirkland Signature and Great Value were among those labels that consistently registered poor performance. These brands frequently received ratings as low as one or two eggs out of a possible five in these evaluations. This poor scoring suggests that despite their presence in the market, their reported farming practices often lack the necessary transparency, leading evaluators to conclude that the national commercial average, represented by these major retailers, often lags behind the higher welfare expectations set by premium or certified systems in Europe and specialized US producers.
