Whilst we are undoubtedly helping more battery hens enjoy a free range retirement than has ever before been achieved, we can never re-home every one of the 20,000,000 currently in the UK.
It is the birds we leave behind that rely on YOU, the consumer, to help take them out of their cages by insisting on products that contain only British organic, free range and barn eggs.
Many processed foods contain hidden eggs and most of these are currently laid by battery hens; foods like mayonnaise, pasta, cakes, chocolates and quiches that you might be buying.
