Meat and eggs used in hospital food in England do not meet the animal welfare standards expected by consumers, a survey suggests.
The RSPCA and Campaign for Better Hospital Food study found most chicken, eggs and pork served came from animals reared in basic welfare conditions.
The questionnaire, which was sent to every hospital trust in England, found that 71% of eggs used in hospital cooking are from hens kept in cages.
It also found that around 80% of chicken and pork served in hospitals is from animals reared in conditions that do not meet RSPCA welfare standards.
