From the battery hen welfare trust
Q. How many crème eggs does a battery hen help to lay each year?
A: About 300,000,000 according to Cadbury
Every single crème egg laid contains egg from a battery hen, but according to Cadbury’s website:
Crème eggs come into the world with a single purpose: to let their goo out…’
Cadbury’s ‘mission is to understand what makes each egg tick and set the goo free! ’
That might sound like good fun, but it’s NOT much fun for the hens stuck in their battery cages laying for
Cadbury in order that you can enjoy your goo.
We’d like Cadbury to concentrate on setting the hen free, rather than the goo and we’d like you to join our
positive campaign,
There's a petition to sign on the website
here, lets see if we can bump the signatures up from 476!

I have just signed as has my OH and (Naughty me) all three of my children!! They'll never know!
Feel a little sick now as we are usually VERY careful about buying egg products but the girls bought me a pack of 6 for mothers day!

I know, it's annoying cos I love creme eggs. Hellmans have seen the light so hopefully Cadburys will change.

I had no idea that creme eggs contained egg... because I don't eat them (yuck!) - do they still have artificial colours in them?
I'll post something on neeps too - cheers.

I had no idea they had eggs in either.
Am I the only one who likes creme eggs then?
