Many Romanians wonder where the eggs bought from Lidl Romania come from, a food product that Romanians often eat for breakfast.
The famous retailer announced some time ago that it had removed eggs from battery-raised chickens, i.e. eggs marked with the number 3, from the entire range of products.
Thus, Lidl Romania will offer customers only eggs that come from hens raised in sheds, on the ground, in the free range system and in the ecological system, i.e. eggs from categories 2, 1 and 0.
The famous supermarket chain withdrew from the shelves the eggs from chickens raised in batteries, these being removed from the recipes of the products bought from Romanian suppliers, which have eggs in their composition.
Thus, all locally developed Lidl Romania products, which contain eggs, are made with:
– category 2 eggs, those that come from hens raised in sheds, on the ground.
– category 1 eggs – in the free range system, with access to the open air throughout the day.
– category 0 eggs – organic eggs, products of hens raised in organic farms and fed with feed that does not contain protein flour of animal origin, additives, preservatives or synthetic dyes.
Only 39% of Romanians know what the numbers written on eggs mean
Statistics show that only 25% of Romanians always read the numbers marked on the eggs in stores, while 39% of consumers associate the numbers with the way in which the chickens from which they come were raised.
In fact, according to the same study, among all egg categories, the most suitable for consumption are those from the free range category (marked with the number 1), in proportion of 49%, and the ecological ones (marked with the number 0), in proportion of 33%.
At the same time, half of the parents buy organic eggs, both for themselves and for their children, while 2 out of 10 Romanians buy only for their children, according to adevarul.ro.
