cage-free eggs

French translation: œufs de poules non élevées en cages

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:cage-free eggs
French translation:œufs de poules non élevées en cages
Entered by: Solen Fillatre

English to French translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Other / eggs
English term or phrase: cage-free eggs
That's why, in September 2015, McDonald's announced a commitment to fully transition to cage-free eggs in our U.S. and Canadian restaurants by 2025.

I don't think 'en liberté' would work because it only says 'not in a cage' and there is a lot of options between a cage and green grass IMO?

disagree  Tony M: No! The source term is a euphemism meaning they are not actually battery hens, but does NOT mean they are 'free-range'; these are sometimes called 'barn eggs' — the poor chookies are still shut in all the time, but in a huge shed.
5 mins
disagree  B D Finch: As explained above by Tony. Hens kept in deep litter are also, usually, extremely overcrowded.

Of course I know it is the exact opposite (!), it is just a question of how you build the sentence in French - here "... d'abandonner les oeufs issus d'élevage en batterie"
