benefits of lion egg products
Choose Lion to minimise food miles
Egg products arrive in the UK from all over the world, clocking up an estimated 3.5million miles in the process - enough to get to the moon and back more than 8 times.
Choosing British Lion eggs minimises the number of food miles and guarantees that you are using British eggs produced to the highest standards, as well as supporting British farmers.
In 2008, around 50,000 tonnes[1] of egg products, in varying forms, were imported from mainland Europe into the UK market for use in the production of ready meals and egg sandwiches, among other items.
In addition, the Lion free range flock is the largest in Europe and the UK industry is well-placed to meet increasing demand for free range eggs.
