The ongoing bird flu outbreak in the United States is causing a significant increase in egg prices, a phenomenon often referred to as \"eggflation.\" This surge is putting additional strain on consumers who are already grappling with rising food costs. As poultry farms face challenges in maintaining production, the supply of eggs has dwindled, leading to higher prices at store shelves. Experts warn that if the bird flu continues to spread, the trend in escalating egg prices may persist, further impacting household budgets nationwide.
