(GoRealNewsNow.com) – In a shocking development that underscores the failures of the previous administration’s economic policies, Denny’s restaurants across America are now implementing a temporary surcharge on meals containing eggs.
See the tweet below.
This move comes as egg prices soar to unprecedented levels, leaving hard-working Americans struggling to afford basic breakfast staples.
The bird flu outbreak has devastated poultry farms nationwide and killed over 140 million egg-laying birds since 2022.
The company stated:
“Some of our restaurant locations will need to temporarily add a surcharge to every meal that includes eggs. This pricing decision is market-by-market and restaurant-by-restaurant due to the regional impacts of the egg shortage.”
This catastrophe has sent egg prices skyrocketing, with some areas seeing prices as high as $8 per dozen – more than double the previous cost.
An astonishing 11 million U.S. households are now raising chickens, making them the third most popular pet.
While the previous administration remained silent on this pressing issue, President Trump has voiced his concern, calling for immediate action to address the egg crisis.
The egg shortage has become so severe that major retailers like Costco and Trader Joe’s have been forced to limit egg purchases.
Even more alarmingly, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has stopped over 90 people from smuggling eggs from Mexico, highlighting the desperation of American consumers.
As if the situation were not dire enough, the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects egg prices could rise another 20% this year.
This continued increase will undoubtedly put further strain on American families who are already struggling to make ends meet with what Biden’s inflationary policies left.
The egg crisis is a stark reminder of the importance of food security and the need for policies supporting American farmers and consumers.
Denny’s said some locations will temporarily add a surcharge to meals with eggs due to a supply crunch that has led to a surge in prices. https://t.co/N56sY0u7X4
