The Bruno Brief: Businesses are shelling out for eggs in the face of shortage, price hikes
Description
Recently, local businesses and consumers may have noticed inflated egg prices. These come amid a nationwide shortage of eggs caused by a national outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu. The bird flu has killed more than 30 million birds this year, according to the March 7 U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Egg Markets Overview. Many Providence egg establishments have been forced to raise prices and adjust their offerings, and some consumers report shifting their purchasing and eating habits in response. In this episode of the Bruno Brief, we learn more about the details of this story and fill you in on other important stories from the week.
