Egg prices have soared by 28.1% in August compared to last year, driven primarily by the ongoing impact of bird flu, which has led to a significant reduction in the egg-laying flock. While overall grocery prices remain stable, this surge has affected consumers, particularly low-income families who rely on eggs for protein. Some states have seen even larger increases, raising concerns about food affordability as the holiday season approaches.
