You might be surprised to learn that nearly 80% of eggs produced in Australia still come from intensive battery farms. These eggs are commonly known as cage eggs. Of the remaining 20%, most are sold as "free range" eggs. But what you may not realise is that there are no universal or legally enforceable standards for the production of free range eggs in Australia, which means that not all free range eggs are the same. And not all producers are the same, either. Industry wants to increase stocking densities for chickens to 20,000 birds per hectare. Is that what you think free range means? Is this how you thought your free range eggs were raised? The good news is that there are some labels that you can trust. www.animalwelfarelabels.org.au  and the even better news is that every time that you purchase eggs or other animal products, you have a chance to help shape the future of agricultural production in Australia. Suppliers are driven by demand for their products - it's a very simple equation. You have an equally simple choice to make when you purchase eggs. Insist that your eggs are accredited by Humane Choice!
