I think it could be due to 2 things.

  1. people are not eating out as much. When you eat out, they give you twice as much as you should eat (in general.). This includes eggs. This has a secondary effect of restaurant supply chain has to move to store supply chains. It's not easy to do that... Other infrastructure is needed, contracts have to be negotiated, etc. Disclaimer, I don't work in supply chain, this is just what I've read is the case
  2. when I go to my local grocery, eggs and egg products like egg whites have a 2 per customer limit. Perhaps this isn't true everywhere but I don't think it's a stretch to assume that it is happening in some places. So the groceries are purchasing less because they are limiting customers from buying a ton of egg products.

I think these 2 factors are causing this issue.
