Your Guarantee
There are two codes of practice which protect the well being of the hens and the safety and freshness of the eggs you buy. Freedom Food is the RSPCA seal of approval that sets strict requirements for the way the hens are kept. It covers everything from the numbers in the hen house to the amount of space they must be given in their nest boxes. The Lion Brand, as well as setting down welfare standards also ensures compliance with strict requirements on freshness and food safety. For example, all eggs marketed under the Lion are laid by hens that have been vaccinated against salmonella.

Many of Britain’s leading free range farmers are members of BFREPA, the British Free Range Egg Producers Association. We believe that our free range farming methods are the best in the world and we are proud of the way our flocks are kept and the quality of the eggs they produce. If you would like more information, please contact vice-chairman John Widdowson at john@jwegg.freeserve.co.uk
