Carrefour Sells Loose Eggs To Reduce Food Waste

French retailer Carrefour is selling loose eggs at all hypermarkets in a bid to save around 3.5 million eggs from being wasted annually.

The company also plans to launch the initiative in all of its Market stores.

If eggs inside a box are broken, the box can no longer be sold and all of the eggs have to be scrapped, the retailer noted.

By installing ‘zero waste challenge’ units, Carrefour is helping to tackle food waste and maximising customers’ purchasing power in the process.

The ‘zero waste challenge’ units in Carrefour hypermarkets offer unbroken eggs from boxes in which broken eggs have been found.

The eggs are presented loose and are arranged according to how they have been reared – Organic, Open air, Free range, and Low price – to help customers choose.
