Egg Prices Drop For First Time In Months

Though the cost has dropped, the average price for a dozen Grade A eggs hit a record high of $6.23 in March.

Prices of eggs in the United States fell for the first time in months.

The overall cost of eggs dropped 12.7% last month. The decline marks the first month-to-month decrease since October.

The price hikes over the last few months were in connection to a major bird-flu outbreak that significantly impacted American poultry farms and egg-laying hens.

Though the cost has dropped, the average price for a dozen Grade A eggs hit a record high of $6.23 in March.

However, prices currently remain high as a dozen Grade A eggs are still running consumers $5.12 on average.
