                <media:description>BERLIN, GERMANY - FEBRUARY 25: In this photo illustration, broken eggs sold as organic are seen on February 25, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. According to a report, hundreds of egg-providing companies in the country are inaccurately describing their products as organic (&quot;bio&quot; in German), a mislabeling due to the producers exceeding the permitted maximum number of chickens allowed to be kept in their cages at one time to be able to receive the official certification.
