The price of eggs has seen significant fluctuations recently, with national average wholesale prices dropping for the third consecutive week, providing some relief to consumers. However, reports suggest that egg prices are still surging in some areas, hitting consumers’ wallets hard as the Easter holiday approaches. The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the sharp rise in egg prices, with indications that corporate greed and avian influenza outbreaks may be contributing factors. Despite a reported decline in wholesale prices, many consumers are questioning why retail prices remain high, leading to discussions on potential price hikes at local restaurants and businesses. As the egg industry remains volatile, experts and lawmakers uncertainty about the sustainability of recent price drops continues.
