Do you still put arsenic in your feed, even after knowing the pervasive cancer causing properties?
EFA
Alberta egg farmers work with nutrition specialists to make sure their hens receive a balanced diet, which is vital for maintaining the hens’ health. All Canadian egg farmers follow feed regulations set by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), which have never included arsenic.

I have noticed that some eggs yolks are light yellow and others are dark orange. Are certain eggs healthier or fresher than others?
EFA
The yolk color does not affect the flavor, quality or nutritional value of the eggs. Yolk color is entirely dependent on the type of feed the hens eat; wheat-based feed tends to produce lighter yolks and corn-based feed tends to produce darker yolks.
