Trader Joe's limits egg purchases due to shortage

Trader Joe’s are limiting the number of eggs customers can buy because of a shortage caused by the avian flu.

“Due to ongoing issues with the supply of eggs, we are currently limiting egg purchases to one dozen per customer, per day, in all Trader Joe’s stores across the country,” a grocery chain spokesperson told CNN.

The chain, which has about 600 US locations, hopes that “these limits will help to ensure that as many of our customers who need eggs are able to purchase them when they visit Trader Joe’s.”

Other grocery stores are also following suit.
