Egg prices in the US have soared to a record $4.95 per dozen, largely due to a serious egg shortage caused by avian flu outbreaks among poultry. The USDA has introduced a comprehensive $1 billion strategy to alleviate this crisis, offering financial support to poultry farmers and funding for treatments and vaccines. Immediate efforts also include increasing egg imports to satisfy consumer demand. Major cities have seen egg prices reaching as high as $10 per dozen, pushing staples like egg sandwiches into luxury territory for many families.
