Eggs are one of the common food that you consume everyday. However, do you really know what you are putting into your mouth?

Did you know that...

• The majority of the world's commercial laying hens, around 63%, are located in Asia, with nearly 90% spending their lives in cages.

• Scientific research has repeatedly shown that cage systems infringe on the fundamental welfare and behavioural needs of hens.

• Consumers in Asia are increasingly concerned about the welfare of farmed animals, with an average of 86% agreeing that "the welfare of farmed animals is important to me."

• Leading food businesses and investors are embracing the shift towards higher welfare products, including cage-free eggs.

• However, it seems like most governments in the world have yet to take full advantage of the policy tools available to support the transition to cage-free systems.

What's wrong with eating eggs from cage-raised chickens?

• The crowded and unsanitary conditions in some cage systems can increase the risk of bacterial contamination, such as Salmonella, in the eggs.

• The widespread use of antibiotics in intensive cage farming can contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can pose a public health risk.

• Studies have shown that eggs from cage-raised chickens may have lower levels of certain nutrients, such as Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, compared to eggs from chickens raised in more natural, free-range conditions.
