Egg prices in California reach $9 per dozen in some areas

FOX BUSINESS

The price of a dozen eggs in California has reached nearly $9 per dozen in some areas, as demand continues to rise amid an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza, or bird flu.

In its overview of egg markets last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said the California benchmark for large shell eggs rose $0.78 to $8.97 per dozen, due to a reduction in supply.

Those prices can be seen when shopping online for eggs at supermarkets across the state.

For instance, Walmart in Chico, California, on Tuesday night listed an 18-count carton of Great Value Cage-free Large White Eggs for $9.52, while a dozen of the same type of eggs from Great Value were listed at $7.22. more here

  1. Democrats in Michigan passed a law to make eggs cost more by giving it a fancy name called cage free.I looked at several cartons of eggs that were organic, cage free.
    Can’t tell the difference.
    Asked some local chickens what they thought but none could give a intelligent answer.
    Same with the politicians.

  2. Trader Joes sells eggs for $3.49 a dozen while Winco has the first dozen eggs at nearly $ 5 dollars a dozen and any second dozen eggs for $9.22 in Spokane which is obscenely overpriced. I will continue to buy eggs at TJ’s and not at Winco until the prices come way down.

  3. Are we seriously going to believe the “avian flu” lies? You do know that the same type of “non-diagnostic” PCR testing is being used that was used to CREATE the Covid plannedemic…right?

  4. All part of the Biden Administration’s Operation: “Burn it Down before January 20th”. Reduce the egg supply with fake bird flu epidemic – kill chickens to “reduce the spread” *sigh* and mysterious fires destroying large chicken farms.
    Artificially reducing egg supply, while the demand stays the same or increases, then – “Guess what?” the price of eggs soar. All according to plan.
