More free range chooks needed
29 Sep 2008
Free range egg farmers need to double the number of laying birds to meet demand for free range eggs. Half of all eggs sold as free range are falsely labelled says the Free Range Egg and Poultry Association. Substitution of barn laid eggs labelled as free range is estimated to be costing Australian consumers more than $13 million per year. Free range eggs have no taste *or* nutritional benefits over cage eggs says the Australian Egg Corporation. Almost one quarter of all eggs sold are now free-range despite a cost difference of up to $6 per dozen.
