Free-range eggs will return to supermarket shelves in the coming days as restrictions preventing the spread of bird flu have started to lift.

But chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss stressed it is “more important than ever” for birdkeepers to remain vigilant for signs of the disease and maintain “scrupulous” biosecurity standards.
