Free-range eggs are coming back to supermarket shelves as chickens no longer need to be kept indoors as the bird flu risk has dropped. Hens had been kept indoors since November 2021 due to avian flu outbreak.
Birds were kept in barns for so long that eggs could no longer be classed as "free range". The labels disappeared from boxes earlier this year.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) announced chickens can be kept outside again as it lowered the avian flu threat level. It expects free range eggs to be back in stores in a few days, reports Wales Online.
