Ongoing supply chain issues tied to the bird flu outbreak are prompting major grocery chains and restaurants to impose restrictions on egg purchases. Trader Joe's in Merrick, New York, is one of the latest to limit customers to one dozen eggs per person. Signs at the store urge shoppers to be patient, acknowledging the supply issues while promising a resolution soon.
Similar measures are being enacted across the country. Costco has warned customers on its website that egg shortages, caused by the highly pathogenic avian influenza, may lead to product cuts or delays. Other grocery chains, including Sprouts and Kroger, have also reported limits on egg sales at some locations.
