Egg prices have increased significantly in the United States in recent months. The price has increased by a whopping 186% in comparison to the average price of a dozen eggs in 1992. The primary cause of this increase is an ongoing bird flu outbreak that has required the slaughter of around 158 million birds since it began. Prices have increased as a result of a significant decrease in the population that lays eggs, which has reduced the overall supply of eggs.
As eggs are becoming more and more expensive, profit margins for American bakeries are becoming more and more slim. A local business in Houston, for example, is struggling with the surge in price of eggs. Christine Ha, the owner of the Stuffed Belly, has taken the egg salad sandwich completely off her menu in order to avoid charging customers an increased price. Similar challenges and situations are being experienced by Kenny & Ziggy's New York Delicatessen, New York Deli and Coffee Shop, and several others.
