>From what I could see there was nothing in there that said you could not sell a package of 12 eggs, they just wanted the mass on the box in metric units. Did Brussels really say that the manufacturer couldn't write on the box that there were 12 eggs inside?
Hens lay eggs in different sizes. In the USA the eggs are sold by the dozen (2 x 6 rather than 4 x 3) with the various sizes indicated on the outside, from small to jumbo.
