The road to a 2025 cage-free future is starting to unfold as the retailers nail their commitments to a production method.

Sainsbury’s have joined the band of retailers committing to free range, whilst Tesco – working together with the BEIC and CIWF – have agreed a standard which will give barn an identity. The CIWF have told the industry that whilst they have approved a standard it doesn’t mean that they will not campaign against barn in the future, so a barn standard does not give barn a clear run with animal charities.

As a result of this development, free range has its point of difference, but it remains to be seen how that point of difference will play out with the free range market.
