Eggs are about to get even more expensive, expert says. Here’s how much
- Egg prices have risen nearly 38% nationally in the past year, with the average price for a dozen eggs now $3.65 according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture data.
- The rise in egg prices is linked to the spread of bird flu, which has decreased the number of egg-laying birds in several states, impacting supply.
- In Louisiana, the average price of eggs is $3.40 per carton, while the West Coast sees prices at $4.20, as reported by William Strickland from LSU's AgCenter.
- Consumers should not worry about contracting bird flu through eggs, as cooking kills the virus, according to Strickland and USDA protocols.
