Bird flu and holiday demand cause egg shortages and price spikes across the U.S. and Canada.

Egg shortages and price spikes are hitting grocery stores across the U.S. and Canada due to bird flu outbreaks and increased holiday demand. In British Columbia, shortages are expected to ease as seasonal demand drops in January. Oklahoma has seen egg prices rise by 37.5% year-over-year, with over 100,000 birds euthanized due to bird flu. Nationally, egg prices have increased by 28.1% compared to last year, with over 111 million birds culled since 2022. Prices are expected to stabilize as the industry replenishes its flocks.
