Cage-free eggs are now the way

A new Michigan law bans conventional eggs and requires grocery stores to sell cage-free eggs and above, which took effect on Jan. 1.

The new era sunsets nearly 15 years of bipartisan legislation that was set to take effect in 2019.

Joe Burda, owner of The Mercantile in Leland, has not sold conventional eggs since last year when producer Spartan Nash removed them from the Fishtown shelves.
