With egg prices in the U.S. near $5 per dozen due to a bird flu outbreak, Nevada has passed a law allowing a temporary suspension of its cage-free egg requirements. While this measure may help residents by increasing egg availability, experts caution that the effect on prices could be minimal. The underlying supply issues persist, as strict bird flu regulations have led to the culling of millions of birds. Additionally, major corporations maintain their commitment to cage-free egg purchases, limiting potential advantages from Nevada's new law.
Nevada has passed a law to temporarily suspend its cage-free egg requirement, aiming to alleviate high egg prices exacerbated by bird flu, currently averaging nearly $5 per dozen.
Despite the relaxation of cage-free laws, the tight egg supply across the U.S. due to the ongoing impacts of bird flu may limit any relief from increased availability.
