A SCOTTISH eggs producer — which allows customers to track each free range egg — has landed a new deal with supermarket giant Sainsbury's.
Turriff-based Duncan Farms providers a QR code for shoppers to use an online egg tracker on its website in an effort to promote local produce, and shoppers can now find the eggs in 29 Sainsbury's stores in Scotland.
The brand can already be found in Morrisons.
In June, Duncan Farms invested more than £10 million in the business including a new packing centre, new free-range sites on their own land and product development.
Additionally, they have partnered with contract producers who are looking to build new free-range sites over the next 24 months.

Since Duncan Farms inception in 2011 their sister business, Muirden Energy has been fully integrated with the farms as part of their investment in renewable energy solutions, including the installation of wind turbines and solar panels at free-range sites and biomass heating at rearing sites.
As part of the rebrand, the new Duncan’s Eggs packs are made from recycled content and are 100% recyclable.
Duncan Farms’ sales director, Rachael Duncan, said the win came at a “pivotal” time for the business.
Multiple key projects are also underway across Duncan Farms sites to drive continual improvements with their sustainability and increase their organic free-range production by 30% in 2024.
Duncan Farms also grow and mix all their own feed for their hens which are homed across Aberdeenshire.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
