As avian influenza spreads, egg prices are skyrocketing across the country, with some areas reporting costs as high as $10 per dozen. Consumers are experiencing significant shortages and price surges at local grocery stores, particularly in California where prices have reached nearly $9. The bird flu has not only depleted egg supplies but has also forced many restaurants and bakeries to adjust their operations amid rising demand and limited availability. With reports of price limits being imposed in some regions, the impact of this crisis is felt widely, from local businesses to consumers seeking affordable egg options.
