Egg Prices Not Expected To Drop Anytime Soon

Infected poultry are being culled, limiting supply and pushing prices up. Experts say the national average for eggs has now topped $4, the highest since early 2023. While the risk to humans remains low, those watching it all closely now warn that continued outbreaks could keep prices unstable in the months ahead
