We’re thrilled to share some exciting news – Country Lane Foods is now officially an approved Lion Egg Packer! This accreditation means that our eggs now carry the British Lion mark, a widely recognised symbol of the highest standards in food safety, quality, and traceability.
What is the Lion Mark and why it matters
The Lion Mark is the benchmark for egg safety in the UK. Every egg packed under this scheme is guaranteed to meet strict requirements set by the British Egg Industry Council. For our customers, this provides peace of mind that the eggs they receive are not only fresh and high-quality, but also fully traceable from farm to fork.
Some of the key standards we adhere to include:
✅ Full traceability – each egg can be tracked from the farm to your kitchen.
✅ Vaccination of all hens against salmonella – helping to ensure eggs are safe to eat.
✅ Independent auditing and rigorous hygiene controls – to maintain the highest quality.
✅ Compliance with the Lion Code of Practice, recognised worldwide as a benchmark for egg safety.
Why this is important to us and our customers
At Country Lane Foods, we’ve always prided ourselves on delivering premium, high-welfare eggs. Achieving the Lion Egg Packer accreditation is a significant milestone that reinforces this commitment. It also highlights our dedication to supporting the British egg industry, maintaining strong relationships with local producers, and upholding practices that benefit both hens and people.
This accreditation is more than just a mark – it’s a promise that every egg packed by Country Lane Foods has passed rigorous safety and quality checks. It aligns perfectly with our core values of integrity, sustainability, and excellence.
A big thank you
We couldn’t have achieved this without our hardworking team, our trusted partners, and of course, our loyal customers who continue to trust and support us.
We’re excited to crack on with even more excellence, and we look forward to sharing more innovative products, recipes, and behind-the-scenes stories as we continue to grow and support the UK food industry.
Here’s to every egg we pack being the very best it can be – for our customers, our hens, and our partners across the country.
