Salling Group Phases Out Own-Brand Products Containing Caged Eggs
Denmark’s Salling Group has announced that it has removed own-brand products containing eggs sourced from caged hens, from its Netto, Føtex, and Bilka stores.
Eggs from caged hens were being used in a wide range of processed products such as pasta, cookies, and mayonnaise.
Føtex removed caged eggs from its refrigerated counters in 2016, with Netto and Bilka following suit in 2017, the retailer added.
The three chains also reduced the price of skrabeæg, or eggs from hens that live in barns.
The initiative is expected to create a better selection, lower prices and increase the sale of products boasting high animal welfare credentials, by DKK 500 million (€66.91 million) by 2020.
