29 Aug 2024 --- The UK government has eased rules for egg producers and packers, who will no longer need to change egg packaging labels during avian influenza (bird flu) outbreaks. Currently, producers must have adequate housing measures to ensure that birds are protected from the spread of disease. As a result of this mandate, producers had to label eggs from free-range birds as barn eggs if they were kept indoors for longer than 16 weeks, in compliance with the Egg Marketing Standards Regulations.
