Firms criticised over packaging of Easter eggs

Brands including Baileys and Thorntons have been criticised as the worst for using recyclable products in their Easter egg packaging.

A major Easter egg packaging report, now in its sixth year, carried out by British Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson found that, on average, only 38% of what is in an Easter egg box is an egg.

The study analysed 11 eggs across all the major brands.
