Egg shortage leads to odd pricing disparity with cage-free costing less than regular
Fox News
The nationwide egg shortage has resulted in higher egg prices for a regular dozen of eggs compared to organic, cage-free cartons in New York City.
The chain's Midtown location had other organic and cage-free varieties selling for under $10, including $5.69 for a dozen of Eggland’s Best "vegetarian-fed hens" eggs. Louis Casiano is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to louis.casiano@fox.com.
One reason for the strange pricing is that organic, free-range egg farms, which have also been hit by the avian flu, have been honoring lower-priced distribution contracts, according to Joe Viscomi, assistant director of operations for Morton Williams.
