What we have learned so far....

The EggTracker has been running (in some form) since 2008 and in total the tool has been used 77,108 times.

That is enough to make approximately 19,277 Victoria Sponges!

What egg codes are most common?

There are different types of eggs and in the UK these are classified into 4 types.

Organic: 4,950 (6%)

Free-Range: 57,117 (71%)

Barn: 1,986 (2%)

Cage: 16,906 (21%)


What about some distances?

Each time someone uses our tool we log the distances travelled so we can work out some averages.

The total bumber of miles tracked accross the tool, to date, is 8,734,658

This means that the average distance an egg has travelled, from egg to farm, in the UK is 113 miles.
