USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins unveiled a five-pronged approach to tackle soaring egg prices caused by H5N1 bird flu outbreaks, with egg prices surging 237% since January 2021. This strategy includes a nearly $1 billion investment aimed at improving the egg market, emphasizing biosecurity, financial relief for farmers, and exploring vaccines for laying chickens. Rollins also criticized California's Proposition 12, claiming it is hampering supply and driving costs further, despite concerns from local poultry suppliers about the potential impact on their businesses if the law is modified.
