The price tag on those egg cartoon has recently surged thanks to inflation and the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza - otherwise known as bird flu – around the nation.
Comparatively, "New York egg prices are unchanged on all sizes," according to the report.
However, officials previously cautioned that egg, turkey and chicken prices could rise and availability could drop if birds at enough farms were to be infected. Entire flocks are destroyed and composted on farms when bird flu is detected in order to stop the contagious virus from spreading to other flocks. This means a smaller supply of eggs.
To date, the virus has been detected in at least 24 states, resulting in the death of nearly 23 million birds, according to NPR.
