Free Range Eggs at Burger King

Free Range Eggs at Burger King

Burger King to sell only Free Range Eggs from Sept 1st
Burger King NZ will start to use free range eggs in its restaurants, New Zealand wide from September 1st.

John Hunter, CEO of Burger King New Zealand, says, “We are delighted to announce, in partnership with New Zealand’s leading egg producer, Zeagold, Burger King will be the first large burger chain to move to 100% Free Range Eggs New Zealand wide.”

“Burger King takes its responsibility in maintaining market leading practices on animal welfare, seriously.”

This latest initiative from Burger King comes after the company announced the addition of milk to its Kids Meals at prices cheaper than soda options and the removal of plastic toys from its Kids Meals. This signals a further commitment to the ongoing focus on food improvement initiatives the company has undertaken over many years. In August 2014 Burger King became the first major burger restaurant chain in New Zealand to display the energy content of menu items on menu boards.
