Eggs laid by hens temporarily housed in barns for their welfare sticker on egg carton for M&S mixed size eggs - temporary measure due to bird flu
Millions of UK eggs will temporarily lose their free-range status after hens were forced to spend weeks inside barns as part of emergency bird flu measures. Poultry has had to be kept indoors under government orders to prevent the spread of the disease. Under EU rules, if birds have been housed for more than 12 weeks they cannot be marketed as free range. To avoid confusion, the industry has decided to label free-range egg cartons with stickers stating the contents were "laid by hens temporarily housed in barns for their welfare".
