Egg prices soar in Colorado as grocery stores face shortages

denverpost.com

Egg prices in Colorado have surged, with some grocery stores experiencing shortages. Prices for a dozen eggs have jumped from under $3 to over $8 in various locations, while the national average was $4.15 in December. The increase is attributed to the avian flu, which has killed millions of egg-laying hens, and a new state law mandating cage-free eggs. Some stores have implemented purchase limits and displayed signs about the shortages. Shoppers are finding limited supplies, with some stores recommending egg alternatives. Prices vary widely, with Trader Joe’s offering the lowest price at $3.49 for a dozen eggs.
