I don't get this. I haven't seen eggs sold out, anywhere. Further, people still eat, so there is no reason why egg consumption in the US should be down. Were they shipping overseas?
Further, this was Cargill, that sells egg "fluid". I buy egg whites by the carton, and they are always in short supply.
This is me, a customer in California, waving a big, red, bs flag. Something else is going on. Nobody has stopped eating, or buying egg whites in cartons.
edit: Oh, yes, prices have gone up 50 cents/carton, recently.
I didn't downvote because I thought this was a well reasoned out comment. However. I would like to point out that we are in the middle of a VERY critical period in our country's history. Multiple factions both inside and outside this country would like to see us die. Not figuratively. And some other very corrupt people inside this country would let it happen if it meant they could get their$.
So forgive the plandemics for erring on the side of caution. This could be an enemy action. Maybe not, but it could be. And that being the case, that there even might be the possibility of it being a deliberate attempt to undermine our republic by sowing chaos, makes it unrealistic and kind of polyanna to just bury your head in the sand and say "must have been some kind of mistake! I'm sure everything is fine! There's surely an innocent explanation!"
Not that that is what you are doing. But there are obv shills in this thread, and I'm sort of addressing 'Dear Reader' while at the same time addressing your comments.
Fair point. The bottlenecks in food supply chains also revolves around compliance to food safety standards, approved supplier processes, allergen declarations in retail settings etc. And those prerequisite programs are internal processes, before government regulations and legislation affects. Crisis management for pandemics were not adequately prepared for this rapid of a shutdown and redirection of materials to certain sectors.
Very few people want to buy a 5 gallon jug of liquid egg, and most food pantries don't have the equipment or manpower to convert jugs like that into portions consumers can use. Those suggestions could take a bit of the edge off the supply mismatch, but they'll never fix it
I’m in the same boat, my grocery store ran out of most staple food items the first week all this hoarding bs started but since has been restocked. All the shelves have been full (except toilet paper and paper towels) for a couple weeks now. But I’m still only allowed to buy one carton of eggs at a time. I would normally buy two anyway, just like milk. But now I can only buy one of each these items at a time.
Another big issue for me is that I work overnights and all the stores in my town (including all the 24 hour stores) are closing at night. So now I can’t even go to the store unless I cut into my sleep time.
I don’t think history will be kind to our response for this. We overreacted bigly,
The egg fluid is pre-cracked scrambled eggs that are bagged for restaurant use. For some reason it's hard to just sell those at the store. Government at work blocking it I bet.
Egg consumption falls off dramatically after Easter. Pre-Easter prices were skyrocketing on trend the same as every year (though 2019 was kind of a weird year). The week after Easter prices fall and did fall ~$20/15sz

3 people were up in this thread instantly to say there's nothing to see here. I mean like within 2 minutes of me posting.

They do sell it in the store packaged in cartons like the ones used for milk.

I also forgot these existed until I got to this thread.
