Why the price of eggs is on the rise again
The price of eggs has risen by about 28% in the past year, largely due to outbreaks of avian flu. Those prices could continue to climb during the holidays, as demand for baked goods increases.
Prices have spiked in recent weeks due to a large bird flu outbreak at two Colorado chicken farms in July. That, paired with higher consumer demand, is contributing to the sticker shock many Americans may be experiencing in the aisles, experts say.
