Dear Ole Tyme Customers:
The United States is currently facing an egg shortage due to a significant outbreak of avian influenza (H5N1), which has led to the death of millions of egg-laying hens. This reduction in supply has caused egg prices to rise substantially, with some areas experiencing costs as high as $10 per dozen.
The outbreak has also impacted other poultry products, leading to shortages and price increases. Despite the challenges, the risk of bird flu transmission to humans remains low, and properly cooked poultry and eggs are safe to consume.
In response to the situation, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has invested nearly $600 million in Moderna's development of a bird flu vaccine.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative.
Thanks,
Ole Tyme Produce
