  • Restaurants are adjusting menu prices; for instance, a local establishment raised the cost of a dish with eggs from $15 to $17.
  • The USDA has reported significant impacts on poultry flocks, with roughly 10.16 million birds affected by the outbreak across the U.S.
  • Consumers should expect ongoing volatility in egg prices and availability due to persistent avian flu detections in California.
