Egg Lovers – You may have seen in the news recently about people falling ill from IMPORTED eggs.
Yes, imported eggs—not British. 🇬🇧
When you buy British, you can easily check the stamp on the shell. Free Range British eggs start with a 1 (for Free Range) followed by UK and a unique farm producer code (e.g., 1UK12345).
British egg producers operate under a rigorous National Control Programme for Salmonella, some of the most rigorous food safety standards in the world. As a Lion Code Accredited Farm, we go even further:
* Mandatory vaccination of all chicks and pullets against Salmonella
* Strict routine Salmonella testing every 13 weeks
* Regular audits by APHA officials, environmental health and assurance schemes
Cheap imports are entering the supply chain, but safety and quality should never be compromised.
Next time you shop, check the stamp and BUY BRITISH! 🍳🇬🇧
