Egg Prices Surge as Bird Flu Devastates US Poultry Supply

Waffle House has added a temporary surcharge of 50 cents per egg on all menus due to ongoing egg shortages caused by an outbreak of bird flu.
The outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza has led to a significant increase in egg prices, affecting restaurants and retailers nationwide.
Emily Metz, president and CEO of the American Egg Board, stated that retail demand for eggs has been 'exceptionally high for a sustained period.'
According to USDA data, the wholesale price for large cartons of eggs rose by 39 cents, reaching $7.63 per dozen in the week ending January 31.
