The Lion Mark

The British Lion mark denotes eggs produced to a stringent Code of Practice incorporating the latest research and advice on Salmonella and eggs from scientists and vets. British Lion eggs account for more than 85% of UK egg production.

Egg Safety

• Look for the British Lion mark on the egg shell and egg box - it shows that the eggs have been produced to the highest standards of food safety
• Buy eggs from a reputable retailer where they will have been transported and stored at the correct temperature (below 20°C)
• Keep eggs refrigerated after purchase
• Store eggs in their box and, as eggs are porous, away from strong-smelling foods
• Make sure you use eggs by the 'best before' date shown on the egg or box - for Lion Quality eggs, this guarantees that they are fresher than required by law
