据外媒报道，澳大利亚竞争与消费者委员会（ACCC）7日对散养鸡蛋做出说明称，如果母鸡不能在开放的范围自由活动，那么它们下的鸡蛋就不能被称之为散养蛋。
据报道，这一“常识”指南定义了什么是“散养鸡蛋”。澳大利亚竞争与消费者委员会当前已经推行了对散养鸡蛋造假的一些生产商的索赔。去年有一桩这样的案子，联邦法庭给鸡蛋生产商Pirovic公司开出了高达30万的罚款。
消费者组织CHOICE的发言人利维（Matt Levey）称，如果能定出一个全国性的标准就会避免被误导，不过这一“常识”指南真的是“很有用”。澳大利亚人支付差不多双倍于笼养鸡蛋的钱购买散养鸡蛋，但是很多养鸡场欺骗了他们。
部分原文报道如下：
IF hens do not move about freely on an open range, then their eggs inevitably can't be spruiked as free range. Right? Right.
This “common sense” advice released today by the Australian Consumper and Competition Commission may indeed seem bleedingly obvious to those of us whose primary contact with eggs are on supermarket shelves or when poached and teamed with smashed avo on toast.
