An initiative for New Zealand to be ‘cage-free' by 2022 has begun, and Bidfood are front-footing the Code of Welfare by taking a stance with their own exclusive Smart Choice eggs.
Effective from 1st October, Smart Choice will begin phasing out caged eggs with a view to only supply cage-free, barn-laid eggs under the Smart Choice brand. Smart Choice cage free eggs will be available in sizes 5, 6 and 7 supplied by Bidfood to complement the existing free-range eggs under the brand already. The Smart Choice eggs are produced by a family business in New Zealand who pride themselves on bird welfare and have always run a totally cage free operation. Bidfood customers can be assured the Smart Choice eggs are laid by hens which are well-cared-for.
Bidfood is encouraging customers to choose the SPCA Blue Tick when making an egg selection.
