Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer emphasized that a prolonged bird flu outbreak could further escalate egg prices, leading to increased grocery costs for consumers.
Schumer warned that without sustained federal support for biosecurity efforts, mismanagement of the bird flu outbreak could cause chaos in the agriculture industry, affecting egg prices and overall grocery costs.
He highlighted the potential consequences of cutting federal funding for biosecurity, stressing that sustaining current operations is essential to prevent price hikes on essential grocery items.
Schumer urged the federal government to maintain biosecurity initiatives, noting that higher egg prices inevitably lead to higher grocery prices, straining household budgets for essential expenses.
