Egg prices in the US have reached record highs due to supply issues caused by a bird flu outbreak and reduced production. Some grocery retailers, including Costco, Trader Joe’s, Kroger-owned Metro Market, and Whole Foods, are limiting egg purchases due to shortages.
In response to concerns about egg supplies, Walmart is also restricting the number of eggs sold in certain packages, but has not implemented a national limit on carton quantities.
The shortage affects various retailers and cities across the US, with some areas experiencing higher prices and reduced availability. As the bird flu outbreak continues to impact production, consumers are advised to plan their egg purchases carefully and consider alternative options.
