Trader Joe's has implemented a daily limit of one dozen eggs per customer due to ongoing egg supply issues in the U.S. The grocery chain cited outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (bird flu) as the reason for the shortage. This move follows other retailers who have also taken steps to manage egg supplies, such as curbing promotions, imposing purchase limits, and maintaining high prices to reduce demand.
Trader Joe’s is putting a cap on how many eggs its shoppers can purchase each day. The company told FOX Business on Monday that it is "currently limiting egg purchases to one dozen per customer, per day." That cap applies to eggs at every Trader Joe’s grocery store in the U.S., according to the company. It operates hundreds of stores nationwide. Trader Joe’s cited "ongoing issues with the supply of eggs" as the reason for the daily limit.
Eggs have been in short supply in the U.S. due to outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza , known as bird flu. "We hope these limits will help to ensure that as many of our customers who need eggs are able to purchase them when they visit Trader Joe’s," the grocer said.
