The one thing a lot of folks don't realize is that the chicken feed has marigold extract added to it to give the yolks a bright orange color. I raise pastured chickens, and my eggs are orange but not fake orange.
Regulations are extremely stringent for Irish dairy, if a cow needs antibiotics etc. they must be taken out of the supply. So any Irish dairy is gonna be the good stuff.
Aldi is my go to store. My son works for a local grocery store and when ppl complain about the prices, he tells them " Aldi has it for less." Thank you Bobby for the info!!
Aldi's is & has been my fav grocery store for yrs! I drive 30 mi one way once a month to do my aldi's shopping. I wish they'd bring back those delicious jam filled crepes in the frozen section! They did for awhile & i did my happy dance (toned down, well, bcuz i was in a store) & stocked up. I also love their tempura shrimp...yum!
Pasture raised is also a marketing term with legal parameters Meaningless Could get 15 min a day to “pasture or graze” and still can put “Pastured” on the label Needs to say 100% grassfed or 100% pastured for animal foods KerryGold has been proven to be a scam.
Go with egg quality (shell thickness and yolk color), not labels. Vital Farms and Happy Egg Co (despite not technically being pastured) are better than most. I've had eggs, supposedly pastured, that were total garbage (Handsome brand) and unlabeled eggs that were fairly decent.
Who proved Kerrygold to be a scam? I’ve tried going back to other brands and the taste of Kerrygold is infinitely better. Plus, they don’t claim to be 100% grass-raised. If use of the term “pasture raised” has legal parameters, how can the phrase be meaningless? At this point, it seems like you’re just being dramatic to troll on Bobby.
@@username00009 simply that pasture raised doesn't mean what it says like free range or cage free. They could be in a dirt lot and that's pasture raised..the question is what are they eating? Is it grass fed
BEWARE: Some have pointed out that the carton on Aldi’s PR eggs say “ 100% Vegetable Fed”. What’s up with that??? No bugs? Worms? 100 PERCENT!!!! These are definitely not pasture raised eggs folks. They probably added some kind of dye to the vegetable feed to make the yolk bright orange.
*If you do NOT have the "Bobby Approved" app, you are REALLY missing out!! I am a "real-life" user of his app and I absolutely LOVE it!!! I use it for EVERYTHING that I purchase, including toothpaste!! I downloaded it off of Google Play and it has been an absolute BLESSING!!! Thank you, Bobby!!!*
I saw these and literally convinced the person reaching for organic next to me to get pasture raised. I knew it was a matter of time that Bobby would find them
Have you had this problem lately? The first few times I got them the yolks were super orange, now they have been yellow like regular eggs, feel like I am being cheated out on them
@@AlruMoToRiderz tbh legally I don’t think they can put pasture raised unless all of the eggs are from pasture raised chix im fine with some yolks not being as orange as most of them, as long as they’re being pasture raised I’m happy tbh and they always taste better than regular factory farmed eggs
@@imonthewinningside8281 real pasture raised egg is a dollar each. i couldn't tell the difference from a 5 cent egg. most things in store are 10-50% real. the 100% real stuff cost money from specialty places
I have read that there are currently no government standards for the amount of time chickens have to spend outdoors in order to be labeled pasture raised so they can spend very little time outside and still carry the label. How would you be able to know just by seeing a carton in the store from a brand you are unfamiliar with that the chickens were truly only pasture raised?
I'll be raising my own chickens, and eating fresh eggs. God willing, it will be soon! As for butter, no dairy for me, or at least, not from cows. I'll be raiding goats. I'll drink their milk, and make my butter and cheese, from that.
Thank you! I love Aldis. I have been using their butter for a while now because I learned that grass fed butter has Omega 3 oils. What I didn’t know was the bit on pasture raised eggs. Thanks for the info. Good Job.
Grass-fed butter is rich in vitamin K2. If you want to increase your Omega-3 oils it just recommended to eat fish or simply supplement it with an omega supplement. I've never heard of any substantial amount of omega-3 oils in butter before
This may be off topic but I lived in the central valley for 30 years. The organic fruit was grown right next the NON ORGANIC fruit. What does this mean? It means the organic fruit is still getting all the pesticides from the fruit field next to them. When they spray pesticides it does not stay exclusively in that field, it travels to all the fields near by. So take ORGANIC fruit with a grain of salt. I do believe the word Organic is thrown around loosely to market and charge extra to the consumer. My husband worked in those fields for decades so I know what I am talking about.
If yolks aren’t deep orange, u can do better Same for butter, it should be as yellow as possible Grassfed - pastured in summer grass- only available a few mos a yr. Buy tons and freeze it. So high in O-3s, CLA. Best butter.
FYI: the cage free eggs that specifically say humane certified means the chickens still have access to outside. It's part of the humane certified certification. (But not all cage free are humane certified. Always look for the logo)
They use a ‘chicken tractor’. It’s a chicken coop that is moved to a new area of the grass each day, eating the bugs, critters, grass etc it’s still a commercialized farming process but it meets all of the chickens best needs. And plus, the idea of chickens roaming around a pasture without cover or perimeters Is not effective. Chickens are VERY vulnerable to predators; such as raccoons. Raccoons would have their feast every day if not! It’s actually very effective farming. The chickens fertilize the ground as well which with GMO pesticide laden farming today, the earth really needs that restored biome
Don't worry too much about dates unless you're planning a long term supply, like a month+. The way to tell if an egg is good or not is to drop it into a glass of water-if it sinks, it's good. If it floats, it's gone bad, and if it stand on its tip, it needs to be used immediately.
And I’m over here living in the US and am like “what the hell is an Aldi?!” LOL we don’t have one of those! Oh boy SuperWalmart here I come…terrified but here I come!😬
Dude. He is literally talking bs. In all of his videos. In fact it's better to do the exact opposite of what he is telling you. Organic is usually the better option. Sure there are some scams but if you would care about the animal you wouldn't even buy eggs.
Thank you for letting us know! I ate cage-free for so long trying to let the chickens live their best egg laying lives & get good nutrition for myself, but, then I found out that wasn't as good for them nor me as I thought it was. I recently bought pasture raised eggs, but, wasn't sure until this video which was better between pasture raised & organic. I thought that organic may be fed organic feed & raised in a pasture, but, it seems like that was wishful thinking. Thanks again and I'll have to visit an an ALDI near me🖐😊
Thanks for this! I go to ALDI a lot, & responsibly sourced egg and other staples are important. It’s also great they have a reasonable price compared to Whole Foods or other similar stores.
How you know chickens like to be outside? Are they more happy? Did someone interview them? Maybe a fox tried to eat them outside and stressed them out. But what do we know🤷🏿♂️
Thank you for the Aldi review. I have tried the butter. Makes a great tasting grilled cheese. It doesn't spread so you have to melt it in the pan first.
Omg, I'm so happy to see this video. We used to buy organic eggs at Costco. One day we needed eggs and told him to get the most expensive one at Walmart which was the pasteurized eggs for $6.99 or something like that. When we first tasted it, it was sooo good. Now he only buys them at Walmart. Considering it's so expensive, he doesn't care lol But thank goodness for this vid because we can now get 2 for the price he pays at Walmart! Ayeee, gotta love Aldi!
I love how the picture he shows of all the chickens in the chicken house is so glorified. In an actual chicken house they would be missing 90% of their feathers wouldn’t be able to stand and they be walking in their own shit.
There will always be some of those in the crowded "egg factories" however, most will be in decent shape. That picture isn't glorified - but the ones that PETA shares on MSM are carefully crafted to show the worst possible picture.
That’s strange. Laws where I live dictate that when something is labeled “free range” it has to be certified. Pasture-raised and free range where I’m from are the same thing.
@@fannyboni472 The US has very lax food laws and enforcement compared to other countries. He should be very careful not to far everyone with the same brush!
Bobbie the label on the pasture raised eggs said they are vegan. The eggs can’t be vegan and pasture raised, as you said they would be picking up the worms and bugs in a pasture. I was also thrilled to see these eggs until i read the label. I did pickup pasture raised at Wegmans that donot mention vegan. Also I think the egg growers can chose feed that makes the yolk any shade of yellow , I may be mistaken about this please correct if I am wrong.
Good Morning! Bobby, Thanks So Much For All Your Help In Study's & Taking All Your Time To Take Us Through Good, Bad & Ugly!! To You & Your Family & Little Rose! Happy Easter Blessings To You All. Love 💓 Marcia Dove💓 💓💓💓💓
Son of a farmer here... pasture raised egg chickens (and free range) live a harder life. Constant threat of attack from predators (foxes, hawks, ect. ), they consistently fight with each other over pecking order because they're in very large groups, and can't get in a comfortable schedule. Constant stress is not good for the bird or your food. The best option would be well cared for home chickens or cage free eggs from a strict company like EggLands Best. Cage free/free range aren't marketing gimmicks, and the picture of a crowded chicken barn he showed is not how most farmers operate anymore. Especially if they produce eggs for big companies like EggLands Best who have strict rules for farmers to follow.
Everything you said is incorrect like all your videos you don't have one video with a truthful statement You have no background or education in what you do and you've been sued 16 times that's quite a lot for a RU-vidr usually it's only two or three so we're going to keep trying until you're done
I'm confused with the eggs, as here in the UK free range has to mean free range. That's why right now here all packaging has to be changed from now on as with an out break of bird flu farms had to move chickens inside to keep them safe. So here free range means free range and can't be used if the chickens aren't allowed to wonder at free will. So now we have no free range eggs and shops won't sell them as such because they have been inside. We won't have free range eggs until the chickens can go back out. So I take it in the US they can say free range even if they're not, because they can't here. Wow the more you know.
@@margaret77494 ya aldi here in the UK has really improved in the past few years and still managed to keep it's prices really good. Though there's no sainsburys near us so we go to adsa which is also really good on price and tesco. I can't compare quality with the US as I've not lived there since I was six, though the egg thing really surprised me. I didn't think you can call something what they are not.
Fantastic. I had VSL Gastric Sleeve surgery 11 years ago I do not and cannot eat much volume of foods. But the quality and nutritional values are essential. Thank you for sharing this important information. Aldi’s is only about 8 minutes away from my house. That is another big deal.
1 - he's standing in the store itself 2 - I've been reading up on this stuff for 20 years. He knows what he is talking about. Did you notice the difference in those 2 eggs in the bowl??? The way animals are housed and fed makes as big a difference to their health, as our diets do for ours. If you're interested - start with Sally Fallon's book, Nurishing Traditions. Joel Salatin's books are also very informative, and fun reading.
We bought those eggs I was* convinced all eggs from Whole Foods would smell funky However tried these??? And they were soooo wonderful Great Eggs so even at whole foods you need to be careful these days I was thinking of HALVA has anyone had some SOOooooo yummy and in little amounts delicious stuff
I spent 31 years of my life hating one food and that was eggs bc they tasted like metal to me. I finally experienced a farm egg and I tell you I was shocked by the difference!!! We only get our eggs from farmers now. It's actually cheaper but most importantly it doesn't taste like metal.
Dear Bob you can also buy 95 percent grass fed New Zealand butter for just $2.50 which is much superior than Irish butter, plus Costco's inexpensive than Aldie's butter as well. Thank you so much for always showing constructive elements in terms of healthy eating!
I love all your tip, they are true. Sadly, none of it is a cheap price. Even before inflation. Most people can’t afford the healthy version of products. That’s why the less money you have the fatter you are and the earlier you die. That’s America! Just sad.
I've seen happy chickens doing their foraging all day long out in the pasture. Soooo many eggs were made available from a small group of hens. Fabulous. Now what ever happened to the situation where GMO chickens were bred with no eyes in order to keep them from pecking each other? As those would be eggs I would NOT eat.
Aldi has grass fed beef and butter, organic chicken and pasture raised eggs. Fucking love Aldi! So much better produce dairy and meat section that the Aldi I remember of 2013
Our chickens and ducks are 100% free range; they roost and lay their eggs wherever they want. Sometimes we get eggs sometimes we get chicks or ducklings. And our chickens and ducks have the best tasting eggs with super dark eggs.
I don't know about (I presume) the US. In Australia, the free range eggs have show how many chickens are per hectare. I go for ones less than 2000 chickens per hectare. There are also live chicken cams from the manufacturers that allow you to see what the chickens are doing outside.
No Aldi in Westen Canada unfortunately. I buy my eggs from the farm down the road from me. The hens have a big yard and barn to roam around in. Happy hens make great EGGS
I buy my milk for under 3 dollars a gallon fresh from the farm my eggs are 1 a dozen and my meat is 4 bux a lb unless I get venison. Which mostly do. All from the farms.
best place to get your eggs not from any supermarket but from the little stands on the side of the street with people that actually have chicken coops and sell them out of their house. most of the time they're cheaper than they can get them at the supermarket
They use a ‘chicken tractor’. It’s a chicken coop that is moved to a new area of the grass each day, eating the bugs, critters, grass etc it’s still a commercialized farming process but it meets all of the chickens best needs.

Good to know. I'll look for it now. Used to get eggs from farmers in the north east all the time. They had the dark yoke too. That's how you know it's a quality egg
Also, that butter in the fridge is processed so that it stays on the shelf longer. Real butter won’t last more than a week on the shelf because there aren’t any preservatives in it (which aren’t good for your body). But, it can last a ridiculously long time in the freezer.
first thing first egg yolk does not have nothing to do with quality of egg but it depends mainly on what is hen eating so nutritionally eggs are the same. In some of the countries people prefer different colours of egg yolks same as colour of the eggs shell. And about the those pasture-raised eggs. Like it would be cheaper to buy a hens then buying these whole year. At the end quality of hens life dramatically changed to better thanks to EU and laws that were enact.
I'm pretty sure that in the UK "Free Range" means that the chickens can go in and out of their barns as they please. And is upheld by RSPCA welfare checks.
brown eggs? So, I'm guessing that's why there are only brown chickens in that picture. Did anyone interview the chickens? jokes aside, keep up the good work and keep people informed. I know someone who refused to eat KG because she didn't believe that industrial refrigeration worked. "how big are those refrigerator shelves? “
Orange yolks are a marketing gimmick as well. They yellow pigmentation comes from Xanthophyll and Orangish is Carotenoids. They can manipulate the color, think flamingos are pink because of shrimp. Also Pasture raised means hawks, coyotes, foxes are all predators that eat outside chickens. There is a certain amount that die because of “acceptable loss” so you can have a label! Food for thought.🤣
