"...you'd be hard-pressed to find anything other than natural eggs from free-range chickens"

Which European country is that? Battery cages are banned in the EU, but caged hens are still permitted as long as the space in the cage meets EU welfare standards.



In Sweden most of the large supermarket chains have stopped selling caged eggs or limited to selling them when supply is short[0]. Less than 10% of eggs sold are from caged hens.[1]

Of course, any pre-fabricated food will still contain caged eggs since that doesn't have to be declared in the ingredients.
