Free-range eggs could soon return to supermarket shelves after the four month ban is said to have been lifted.
The temporary halt saw birds in some parts of the country being kept inside with the ban having come into force in November 2021 after poultry farmers discovered that they would have to cull up to one million birds due to the outbreak of the fast-spreading H5N1, also known as bird flu.
According to the Mirror, farmers were ordered to keep all of their birds indoors to prevent the spread of avian influenza during the outbreak.
