Government Launches Mission to Save the Full English Breakfast Amid Food Production Crisis

The UK government is taking action to save the iconic full English breakfast as the country faces a crisis in the production of eggs and sausages. Cabinet Minister Therese Coffey is leading the charge to ensure that well-farmed British grub continues to grace our plates.

Egg and Sausage Shortages

Supermarkets experienced a significant shortage of eggs earlier this year when bird flu and rising costs hit farmers hard. In addition, British pig farmers have warned of a potential industry collapse due to soaring feed prices and labor shortages.

A Westminster insider explained, "This is about ensuring good quality British eggs and pork."

Government Review

The government will launch a review into unfair prices in the egg sector to find a solution that provides British farmers with fair compensation for their products without increasing supermarket prices. This follows a recent government review into pig farming, which committed to tightening regulations to ensure that pig farmers receive a better deal. The goal is to have more British bacon and sausages stocked in stores and served on our plates.

Improving Food Security

Chancellor Rishi Sunak aims to enhance Britain's food security by promoting domestic growth and rearing of food. This initiative comes in response to the challenges posed by Covid lockdowns and the conflict in Ukraine, both of which have severely impacted the country's food supply chains.
