Updated 108mo ago
This regulation updates the rules for labeling and selling 'free range' eggs when hens cannot access their outdoor runs. It ensures that consumers are not misled when temporary restrictions, such as disease outbreaks or extreme weather, prevent hens from going outside.
This affects egg producers and retailers. It clarifies the conditions under which eggs can still be marketed as free range even if outdoor access is temporarily limited.
