The egg industry is experiencing an increase in demand as the holiday season approaches, with a significant reliance on eggs for traditional holiday recipes like pumpkin pie and stuffing.
Avian influenza remains the primary factor driving up egg prices, having necessitated the culling of over 111 million birds to control the spread of the virus.
Egg shortages in grocery stores are deemed isolated and temporary, and are being corrected rapidly, sometimes within a single day, according to industry experts.
The current price of eggs reflects significant fluctuations, with October's average at $3.37, compared to a peak of $4.82 in January 2023, but still higher than previous year prices.
