So there you are; surrounded by posters of poultry basking in their freedom, your conscience and shopping experience clean because you are promised that the eggs you are buying came from free-range chickens. If chickens could smile, I’m sure we would be confronted by an enormous picture of a splendid beaky grin.
Woolworths has long been the forerunner in the promotion and sale of free-range eggs. They are currently renowned and respected for phasing out all battery eggs from their stores and for the longest while we had assumed it was because they had realised that battery farming is cruel and inhumane
Recently it has come to our attention that whilst all the focus seems to be on the actual eggs, Woolworths has neglected to mention the use of battery eggs in their other products. It seems that the eggs that are visible, such as the ones in cartons, are free-range, whilst the ones that are less obvious (at first) contain battery eggs.
