Laid in Britain Accreditation

The Laid in Britain accreditation is awarded to egg producers, egg packing stations and retailers by (UKEP) UK Egg Producers Association. The accreditation is awarded after the egg company has passed stringent tests for the health and welfare of the hens and quality of produce.

Unlike other UK associations UKEP has heralded locally supplied eggs with the minimum length of the food chain, allowing easy tracing of their origin. Delivering the eggs close to the locality of egg production means that the carbon footprint is reduced. It pays to buy and promote Laid in Britain eggs!

Retailers and suppliers in the food industry can therefore be assured of a fast delivery of really fresh eggs to supply to their customers. Buying from your local egg producer and/or egg packing station can be rewarded with happier customers who prefer to buy eggs with a really great fresh taste.

Not a single LAID IN BRITAIN egg has ever tested positive for Salmonella. This makes Laid in Britain eggs unique, unlike other assurance schemes, apart from a vaccination programme against Salmonella, producers also make use of a competitive exclusion product to provide wider pathogen cover than vaccination alone.
