"Farmfoods has dropped its commitment to stop selling eggs from chickens farmed in cages, becoming the only UK supermarket to have ditched the welfare promise, writes Brendan Montague. The chain committed in 2016 to going cage-free by the end of 2025 after campaigning from The Humane League UK, which has now launched a petition in response to what it described as a “betrayal”. George Herd, the chief executive of Farmfoods, made the decision with the company saying it was “unwilling to deny customers access to the good value, nutritious food provided by eggs laid by caged hens.” This claim was made despite the fact that #Farmfoods eggs from caged hens cost the same as Aldi’s free-range eggs. Further, an overwhelming 94 per cent of the UK public oppose the use of cages for laying hens."

TIL that the first #farmfoods store was a butchers in #aberdeen
I'd be interested to know where in the city the original store is (I can't imagine it's the one on george street?) -
