Understanding egg codes
The typical nutrition of hens eggs
This mark of quality is therefore only used on eggs produced in accordance with both UK and EU law and the strict Lion Quality Code of Practise.
The Lion Mark is essentially a guarantee that the eggs are of the best quality available and that they are laid by British hens that have been vaccinated against salmonella.
*More than 85% of UK eggs are now produced to Lion Quality Standards.
Codes are also printed on most good quality eggs.
These codes indicate how the hens were kept, their country of origin
and the ID of the farm where they were produced.
