Americans shun eggs as shortages make them overpriced

A growing number of Americans are avoiding eggs due to their steadily rising cost, according to a recent study.

Research conducted by Clarify Capital found that 34% of Americans are actively avoiding buying eggs as prices become increasingly unaffordable. Respondents indicated that they would only consider purchasing eggs if the price drops to $5 or less per carton.

Nearly all survey participants reported noticing a sharp increase in egg prices in recent months.

The study also highlighted that 61% of Americans are eating fewer eggs due to rising costs, while 44% are using fewer eggs in cooking and baking.

Egg supplies in the U.S. have been severely impacted by a surge in avian flu outbreaks.

Despite looming tariff threats, Washington has reached out to several European countries, including Denmark, to assess their egg stocks and explore future import options.
