Soaring egg prices have U.S. consumers squawking
Raw StoryA resurgence of avian flu, which first struck the United States in 2022, is hitting chicken farms hard, sending egg prices soaring and rattling consumers accustomed to buying this dietary staple for only a few dollars. Responding to irate consumers, a Washington supermarket posted this explanation: "You may notice a price increase on eggs at this time due to the recent avian influenza outbreak in the Midwest," the country's agricultural heartland. "The continuing egg shortage caused by HPAI has caused a dramatic increase in egg prices," Waffle House said in a statement to CNN. Americans are among the world's biggest egg lovers, particularly at breakfast time, consuming on average 277 eggs a year, according to the United Egg Producers, an agricultural cooperative.
