**The covid-19 pandemic caused unique and significant challenges for the egg sector. Impacts such as the closure of the hospitality sector, the rise of home baking during periods of lockdown and challenges relating to the labour market disrupted supply chain forecasts within the industry. Lidl worked hard with its supply case during this period to keep its shelves stocked with high quality eggs at competitive prices, ensuring it met customer demand throughout this unprecedented period. Due to these unforeseen circumstances Lidl is reporting an increase in the proportion of enriched caged-eggs versus cage-free eggs in FY20/21 in comparison with FY 19/20. Despite this, Lidl is engaging closely with its supply base on the conversion to 100% cage-free eggs by 2025 and remains committed to achieving this goal.
