From Patch:
Egg prices in December were 37 percent higher than they were during the same period in 2023. At the same time, the overall annual grocery inflation rate for December was 1.8 percent.
If projections from the Agriculture Department prove out, egg prices could increase another 20 percent by the end of 2025 because of a resurgence of bird flu.
“Not to be the bearer of bad news, but we’re in this for a while,” Emily Metz, president and CEO of the American Egg Board, told CNN Business. “Until we have time without a detection, unfortunately, this very, very tight egg supply is going to continue.”
Reports of the egg heist follow an egg truck crashing in Los Angeles on Monday morning.
