Summary

Egg prices in the U.S. have reached a record high of $4.95 per dozen amid a severe bird flu outbreak that has led to the culling of millions of egg-laying chickens.

The shortage is compounded by rising feed, fuel, and labor costs, as well as increased demand and stricter cage-free regulations in several states.

Consumers face empty shelves, surcharges, and limited availability, with some areas pricing cartons at $10 or more.

Prices are expected to continue rising, especially with Easter demand.

    Equal quality, only in one’s imagination.

    If it weren’t the case, vegan pizza would be palatable, and it’s not.

      If you use egg in your pizza you are doing something very different then… Well, almost every place I know that makes pizza.
