The truth about your ‘free-range’ eggs

With health and wellness trends on the rise and egg consumption increasing, many consumers are seeking the best eggs money can buy. But how do you choose the right box amid a shelf full of options?

A box labeled ‘free-range’ may seem like the obvious choice – but do you know what that really means? It’s time to unpack the truth behind the free-range label.

When most people think of free-range eggs, they imagine hens roaming rolling green hills, pecking freely throughout the day.

Unfortunately, the reality is often far from this idyllic image:

  • Minimal space: In many countries, there is no legal requirement for the size of the outdoor space provided to ‘free-range’ hens. Some farms crowd up to 10 hens per square metre.
  • Limited access: Most ‘free-range’ hens are kept in barns and only allowed limited, intermittent access to small, fenced-in grassy areas – hardly the freedom consumers envision.
  • Health concerns: Sick hens are often left in the flock and treated with antibiotics, which may result in eggs containing antibiotic residues.

If you’re serious about your health and the quality of your food, it’s time to demand better. Enter Eggcellent Eggs, the game-changer in ethical and nutritious egg production.

Eggcellent Eggs redefines what it means to be truly free-range. Here’s what sets the brand apart:

  • Pasture-raised hens: Their hens roam freely on outdoor pastures, with real green fields and plenty of space to explore.
  • Antibiotic-free care: Sick hens are removed from the flock and taken to a ‘sick bay’ where they are treated with homeopathic medicine, ensuring healthy eggs without antibiotic contamination.
  • No additives or animal byproducts: The hens are fed a non-GMO, natural diet with no colourants, fish meal or animal byproducts.
  • Hand-collected eggs: Careful collection ensures the highest quality, non-fertile eggs.

Eggcellent Eggs embodies transparency, health and ethical practices, giving consumers peace of mind with every purchase.
