The humble egg is now a source of frustration for millions of shoppers around the U.S, who face soaring prices and shortages. What's going on?

Egg prices are already high, but officials say they are only going to go up more in 2025. Here's how much you could pay and why they are so expensive.

The price of eggs has been going up and experts expect it to keep rising. The average cost of a dozen white eggs in California is up .72 cents this week at to around $8.76 a dozen. Arizona is seeing a similar spike.

Minnesotans are navigating the egg shortage in different ways as the Agriculture Department predicts prices will jump another 20% this year. Experts explained bird flu is causing supply shortages and high prices.

Egg prices could go even higher this year, with the USDA predicting consumer costs to rise 20.3% in 2025. That’s despite moderating price growth in other food categories, where costs are rising below the historical average.

Egg prices have more than doubled over the last two years as a dangerous strain of bird flu has swept across the country.

Egg prices push local restaurants to slightly increase prices

Texas A&M AgriLife said wholesale prices for large Grade A eggs hit an all-time high of $6.14 per dozen on average nationally on Jan. 18, according to the latest USDA report.

The USDA attributed the rise in egg costs to an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza, or bird flu, which has caused a strain in supply. The rise in prices is not sudden, as eggs cost 36.
