Happy healthy eggs
At Sainsbury’s we care about the hens laying our eggs. This year we were proud to move to offering only free range eggs in store and online, sourced from free range farms in the UK.
This is the latest in a line of steps we have taken to further our commitments to sourcing with integrity. In 2009 when we became the first major retailer to go 100% cage-free. All of Sainsbury’s own-brand eggs are already from RSPCA Assured UK farms, and we stock more RSPCA Assured products than any other UK supermarket.
Scrambled, poached, boiled, or beaten, eggs are one of nature’s most adaptable and tasty basic ingredients.
Naturally high in protein, they are also high in vitamin D, as well as being a source of Iodine and selenium.
Happy Hens and the Woodland Trust
Like their wild ancestors hens prefer a natural environment with trees. Our free range eggs come from hens with access to established woodland or where trees have been planted to enrich the range and provide natural cover. This encourages them to range more and live fuller, more active lives exploring and foraging beneath the trees.
In 2004 we launched a partnership with the Woodland Trust to create and protect the UK’s woodland. To date we have raised more than £11 million for the trust and helped to plant 4 million native trees with the potential to mitigate one million tonnes of carbon dioxide.
