Avian influenza outbreak leads to egg shortage and skyrocketing prices across the US.
The price of eggs has skyrocketed, with a dozen large eggs in the Midwest hitting an unprecedented $6.07 per dozen on Thursday. This surge is largely attributed to the ongoing spread of avian influenza, which has decimated the egg-laying hen population. The price of eggs has been steadily rising for three consecutive weeks, though the pace of increases is starting to moderate, suggesting the market may be nearing its peak.
This outbreak has left grocery store shelves bare as customers struggle to find eggs at any price. Business owners who rely on eggs are also facing challenges, as rising costs squeeze their profit margins.
