NBA Spread and Total Picks for Today, December 25Avian flu outbreaks and increased demand during the holiday season are being blamed for high egg prices in Massachusetts grocery stores. NewsCenter 5 contacted Stop & Shop about egg prices after spotting a sign about the higher prices inside one of the chain's Boston-area stores. "Like other retailers, Stop & Shop is seeing supply challenges with eggs as a result of repeated avian flu outbreaks, which has led to significant cost increases from our suppliers. Increased demand for eggs during the holiday baking season has also impacted availability and pricing across the industry," a company spokesperson wrote in a statement. "Stop & Shop is in close contact with our supplier partners, and we are working diligently to keep high-demand products in stock and to deliver value to our customers." As of Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that white eggs in cartons are being delivered to warehouses at prices ranging from $5.48 to $5.62 per dozen across the northeast. Avian flu can be deadly to domestic poultry. When bird flu is detected in a flock, the animals are quarantined and euthanized to prevent the risk of additional spread. "If we find it in the United States, we must quickly eradicate the disease to protect our Nation’s flocks and economy," the USDA wrote in a 2022 document about protecting poultry from the virus. Last week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in his state over the spread of bird flu, after it was found in at least 650 dairy cow herds in that state. Officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have repeatedly stressed that the virus poses low risk to the general public. The agency describes the current situation among dairy cattle as an "ongoing multi-state outbreak" and says the virus is "widespread" among wild birds, but the situation for poultry flocks is considered to be one of "sporadic outbreaks." According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , no infections have been detected in commercial flocks in any of the New England states since the start of the outbreak in February 2022. Infections have been reported among backyard flocks in all 50 states. The CDC estimates that 127.51 million birds have been affected over the course of the outbreak. For context, the USDA estimates there are more than 378.5 million egg-laying chickens across the country. Of the dozens of human cases reported in the U.S., only one was considered severe so far. There are no reports of person-to-person transmission in any of the cases. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
