Shoppers are reporting empty shelves where cartons of eggs were normally stocked.
An egg shortage caused by the continued spread of avian flu has impacted shoppers across the country — just days before the holiday season gets underway.
Shoppers at a Trader Joe’s store in the Union Market section of Washington, DC, noticed a sign on one of the shelves on Wednesday that read: “Temporarily out of eggs.”“I hate going to grocery stores, so when I go and I can’t get what I want, it’s unpleasant,” she said. “I actually went to Trader Joe’s tonight and they had the same sign up. I’m in Pennsylvania,” another Reddit useraccording to data from the Labor Bureau of Statistics.
But the avian flu outbreak which began in January 2022 sent egg prices soaring. During the initial stage of the outbreak, the average cost of a dozen eggs surged to a record $4.82.
