This Popular Grocery Chain Is Imposing Limits on Egg Purchases

If you finish your weekly grocery launch with one box without control in your list, you are not alone. Buyers throughout the country have difficulty tracking eggs, and this is carried out by some chains for the implementation of strict purchase restrictions when deliveries are delayed.

The budget merchant Joe’s chain is reported that it provides a strict restriction on the purchase of customer eggs, since the placed signs in grocery places throughout the country limit only one dozen for the trip. A serious outbreak of the H5N1 virus, known as a bird flu, enters the poultry industry, which leads to violations of the supply, where the prices are low, and often rising prices, where cardboard boxes are available.

“From the continuing problems with the supply of eggs, we are currently limiting the purchases of eggs with one dozen on a client on the day in all stores of the Joe merchant throughout the country,” said the representative of Trader’s Joe’s Nakia Rohde Koin, the local television station Portland, by e -mail. “We hope that these restrictions will help ensure that many of our customers who need eggs be able to purchase them when they visit the Joe trader.”

Meanwhile, a sign in one of the New York outpost read: “From the continuing problems with the supply of eggs, we kindly ask you to limit your purchase of 1 dozen eggs of any kind. We hope that soon a sufficient supply will turn out! ”

Literally last week, R/Traderjoes Subreddit members defended the national network for its relatively low price – and, judging by the naked shelves shown in the video of social networks on the Internet, it seems that they were not alone in their gratitude. Some even report that they rush to the local groceryman at dawn to provide a dozen. The representative of the chain did not immediately respond to our request for further comments.

On Tiktok, video users of social networks Pan for advanced lines full of carts and chaotic scenes of eggs broken on Earth. Costco did not immediately respond to our request for a comment.

The bird industry feels that after several months of the outbreak, since the US Department of Agriculture reports about 136 million chickens (about 8% of the population with an egg) last fall. Prices also rose to comply with the pace with demand, which led to some restaurants, especially a waffle house to emphasize the temporary admission for orders for breakfast. Despite the problems with consumers, experts say that fully cooked eggs are still safe for consumption, since the presence of H5N1 in consumer eggs is extremely rare.

“The likelihood that eggs from an infected bird were found in the retail market is low,” is low, ”previously shared the US sanitary supervision of the US food and medicines (FDA) in an e -mail statement. “Proper preparation of eggs is effective for the destruction of pathogens, including H5N1.”

Bird flu was discovered in flocks in all 50 states. The lack of eggs began to increase in early January, and it is unclear when exactly they could leve expenses – and retail materials. At the same time, can we suggest instead to store several cans of chickpeas?
