Eggs prices are likely to shoot up even more in 2025. Here's what to know.

At Market Basket locations in some parts of Massachusetts, customers are being asked to limit their egg purchases to two cartons per family. Another shopper, this one in Las Vegas and also on the hunt for eggs, reported finding empty shelves at a local grocery store. On social media, a consumer accustomed to paying around $2 for a dozen eggs expressed shock over now having to pay more than double that amount. 

Egg shortages, restrictions and record-high prices are ruffling feathers at supermarkets across the U.S. as a deadly strain of avian flu continues to decimate the country's poultry flocks. For consumers still struggling to digest soaring food costs, that likely means even higher egg prices in 2025.

The average price of a dozen large, grade-A eggs was $4.15 in December, up 14% from $3.65 in November, federal data shows. That's a more than 60% increase from the $2.51 it cost for 12 eggs in December 2023 and 169% more than the $1.19 consumers paid for the same carton in 2019, CBS News' price tracker reveals.
