Happy Egg maker Noble Foods recognised for leadership in chicken welfare
Noble Foods, the UK’s biggest egg producer was awarded a Good Egg Award for its commitment to be 100% cage free by 2025.
Working collaboratively with the British Egg Industry Council, Compassion and Tesco, Noble Foods helped develop a new higher welfare barn standard for UK egg production which was introduced in November 2019.
In the past year, Noble has worked alongside their equipment manufacturer, Vencomatic, to convert one of their large enriched colony caged units to the new higher welfare aviary barn system, coupled with an identical pullet rearing unit.
Jean-Paul Michalski, company farms director at Noble Foods, commented: “Animal welfare is of the utmost importance to Noble Foods and we’re extremely proud of the CIWF Good Egg Award. Our aim is to be an example and deliver standards of care that significantly push the boundaries to set new industry goals for responsible farming.”
