benefits of lion egg products
Consumers have their say
The Lion mark is recognised by 88% of consumers and Lion shell eggs are specified by all major retailers.
Many consumers are also demanding free range eggs and the UK egg industry is well placed to meet this demand - the Lion free range flock is the biggest in Europe.
Yet consumer research commissioned by the British Egg Information Service showed many consumers are unaware that imported eggs are used within some British food products.
- 30% of consumers believe that only British eggs are used in products. In reality, almost a third of products contain imported eggs.
- More than 80% of people would be more likely to purchase products such as Yorkshire puddings or quiche if the Lion logo was on the packaging.
- 40% of consumers would not buy the product if they knew foreign eggs had been used.
