Switzerland’s Biggest Retailer To Sell Only Free-Range Eggs By 2020

Switzerland’s biggest retailer Migros has announced it will by the end of 2020 sell only eggs from free roaming hens, according to Le Matin Dimanche newspaper. 

Migros will sell only eggs from hens that each have access to 2.5 square metres of open field, as well as a covered outdoor winter garden. 

This means it will phase out eggs from farms where the hens do not have access to a field, which currently make up 30% of its stock. Migros stopped selling battery farm eggs 20 years ago.
