'Free range' eggs will not be available in the UK from Monday 21st March (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/18/free-range-eggs-unavailable-britain-avian-flu).

Chickens have consequently been confined to quarters since last November. This means that their eggs can no longer carry the (obviously slightly misleading) label from this coming Monday.
