U.S. egg prices have reached an unprecedented high, soaring to $6.23 per dozen, driven by continuing supply fears despite a recent slowdown in bird flu outbreaks. This marks the third consecutive month of record increases, which has been compounded by inflationary pressures. The situation has persisted despite optimism from the White House and previous predictions by former President Trump. While there are signs of possible relief, many retailers continue to keep prices elevated. The egg shortage has prompted some food industry players to rethink their supply strategies, revealing both challenges and unexpected opportunities for small farmers.
