Yes, we have much better regulation about the meaning of free range for both meat and eggs. It is not perfect by any means, but I find it scandalous that in US one hour of pasture time per day can be classed as free range. We have two layers of regulation EU and UK, and believe me the EU loves regulation! I buy from a local farm shop so I know exactly what conditions the hens live in. I also buy free range meat from a reputable source.
