A significant egg heist in Pennsylvania highlights the soaring demand and rising costs of eggs due to supply shortages, driven primarily by recent avian flu outbreaks. The theft involved over 100,000 eggs worth around $40,000 from Pete & Gerry's Organics. With the avian flu causing the culling of millions of egg-laying chickens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts a further 20% rise in egg prices. The ongoing scarcity has not only impacted grocery shelves but also led breakfast chains to adjust their pricing models accordingly.
The avian flu has been the catalyst behind an unprecedented egg price surge and subsequent supply chain issues, ultimately leading to incidents like the recent heist.
The ongoing avian flu outbreak has led to the culling of over 150 million egg-laying chickens, contributing significantly to rising egg costs and shortages.
