Country Style Foods Ltd produces own label frozen desserts and bakery products for major UK retailers as well as producing Cadbury and Sara Lee branded frozen desserts. It has used free-range egg in many of its products for some years now and through the Good Egg Awards it has committed to going 100% free-range in all products by 2012 at the latest. The first and most significant stage of this project being that from April 2008, all of the fresh whole egg and fresh egg white used by Country Style Foods Ltd is sourced from free-range birds.

"We want consumers to feel that they can trust us to take a responsible approach in sourcing our ingredients. We use egg as an ingredient in the manufacture of a wide range of desserts and bakery products, the introduction of our free-range policy is in line with the wider aim that all the ingredients that we use have been produced under high standards of animal welfare and with consideration for the environment."
