Egg prices are experiencing unprecedented increases, driven largely by supply shortages caused by bird flu. Retailers are having difficulty maintaining stock, with some imposing purchase limits. As prices reach record highs—over $7 per dozen in certain regions—consumers face significant challenges. Experts lament that continued inaction against avian influenza could exacerbate the food supply crisis. Aldi aims to manage costs to support consumers, while Walmart emphasizes efforts to stabilize supply despite high demand and limited availability.
Some of the retailers are short because their suppliers have been directly impacted and their replacement cost is extremely high right now because there's not much egg to be had in the market.
Egg prices are climbing to new record highs daily, with a dozen large eggs in some regions exceeding $7.
