A dozen eggs hit a record $6.23 last month.
Egg prices in the U.S. have surged to record highs due to a combination of inflation and a widespread bird flu outbreak, which has led to the culling of millions of hens, significantly reducing egg supply. This price spike, with a dozen eggs costing an average of $4.21 in February, has impacted consumers, particularly during the Easter season when egg demand traditionally increases. As a result, many families are turning to alternatives such as plastic eggs, chocolate eggs, or even skipping traditional egg hunts altogether. The situation has also affected small businesses like bakeries, which are struggling with the increased costs, and some are considering raising their prices or finding egg substitutes. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has noted that while egg production is slowly recovering, prices are expected to remain high in the near term.
