A highly-infectious avian flu is forcing farmers to kill millions of egg-laying birds across more than half the country, driving the price of eggs up to historic levels only days before Easter and Passover.
The rise in the price of eggs comes as food prices have increased in several areas. From February 2021 until February 2022, milk prices have gone up 11.2%, candy has gone up 7.1%, and butter has gone up 5.5%, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Consumer Price Index.
