The case can still be appealed.

In response to the recent drop in egg prices, some stores have implemented discounts by adding eggs to their dishes. Although raw material costs like paper boxes and salad oil have been increasing, causing overall costs to remain stable even with lower egg prices, these stores have chosen to lower prices by adding eggs. This comes after a period of egg shortages leading to price hikes in previous years, with the current oversupply causing prices to drop.
