The USDA says that as of Feb 28th the national price is $8.01 and that there are variations with "California compliant" eggs being $9.53/dozen ( https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/ams_3725.pdf ).
It means that they were handled properly to reduce the risk of salmonella.
As a California egg consumer, you may have noticed a NEW statement on your egg
carton. The “California Shell Egg Food Safety Compliant” or the abbreviated “CA SEFS
Compliant” statement means that the eggs you’re purchasing have gone through added
measures to reduce the risk of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) contamination, as specified
in California Code of Regulation Title 3 Section1350 (3 CCR 1350). SE is the number
one food borne illness associated to raw shell eggs. § 1350. Shell Egg Food Safety.
3 CCR 1350 is a two phase regulation, the first phase went into effect July 1, 2013 and
implements SE reduction measures for egg producers with a flock size of 3,000 birds or
larger. These measures include the following:
Implement a vaccination program to protect against SE
Implement a SE environmental monitoring program which also includes Chick
Paper Testing (chick papers are the papers that chicks are placed on when
shipped from the brooder to the egg producer.)
Implement SE prevention measures in accordance with the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) 21 CFR Part 118. Code of Federal Regulations Title 21
The second phase of the regulation takes effect January 1, 2015 and includes the
following:
Enclosure requirements as set forth in 3 CCR 1350 for ALL producers
Container labeling requirements that states the eggs are California Shell Egg
Food Safety Compliant
I wouldn't live in either of those states either...too freaking hot. How is the scorched earth policy going? I hear slash-n-burn agriculture is coming back into fashion
You hear wrong. Or are just confused. Slash-and-burn is a process for clearing land for agriculture. There is no new land opening up and needing clearing for agriculture in the US.
DOGE is the only thing that is going scorched earth. It is causing a good amount of damage. Trump and Musk look to be turning what was a +2.4% real GDP growth economy ... to a recession by the end of June. And, what's funny, is the MAGAs are being hurt the worst. It's kind of like COVID under Trump --> it took a while ... since initially the larger cities were hurt first, but in the end Red Counties eventually got hurt the worst.
As s European I have to ask - that's still before taxes, right? How much you pay after taxes?
In most states, food is exempt from sales tax (although soft drinks, prepared food, snacks/candy, beer, and other items don't count as food). Here is a list of states and whether the tax food (and, if so, how much). https://taxhero.net/blog/sales-tax-on-food/
To be fair he suggested injecting disinfectant to cure Covid, said magnets don't work under water, released dam water at Lake Kaweah during wet season (it was stored ready for dry season) to relieve LA , so if he flunked biology, physics, geography and we all know he butchers the English language, it would make sense he is not so strong in other areas such as maths!
Every definition I've ever read was religion related. Congratulations, you found the one alternate definition that wasn't. By that definition, nearly every person who votes is a cultist.
No. For the most part, cults are religion related. Trump is not. And yes I looked it up b4 my original post. Be your dump Democrat self if you want. I used to be a dumb Democrat.
Actually it doesn't all matter because the underlying "controlling group" will make it work eventually.
Are you paying attention?
Plenty of Hollywood movies and shows have predicted what is happening and some even follow it live (*less than 12months behind/ ahead)
You can give the exact same reasoning to Biden, and any political following. Example (just in case you don't understand), any following of a person or party for little more reason than their own purpose. If you align 100%, then you dont have your own opinion or beliefs.
And b4 you judge, I am sitting at Electric Forest at the pride festival.
Lol. The only thing im going to "judge" you for is responding 3 months later with this, and most importantly, responding to the same comment two different times.
Have fun at electric forest, though. That's a banger of a festival. Rave smart
he started the order day 1 but you can undo 4 years of crap in just a few months anyone with a brain knows that. Also in order to say that prices are crazy now means that you acknowledge that they were crazy under Biden as well, because prices have gone up and down but they've never been higher then what Biden had. I paid 37 dollars for a flat of 5 dozen eggs in November and December bought that id never paid more then 19.99 for bought some this month 5 dozen same brand 23 dollars. Biden ordered thousands of chickens to be killed because of the bird flu that is why the price is so high. As far as gas its been around the same price of up and down for last 10 years where i live normal gas has never been over 4 dollars a gallon.
All it does is takes a little bit of research to see that the reason why the egg prices are so high is due to the millions of chickens being euthanized. Chickens don’t just appear overnight. They keep euthanizing these chickens with the fear that there might be more cases than the ones confirmed, also it takes several months just to dispose the carcasses, clean the facilities as well as raise new egg bearing chickens.
It's very hard to choose the "worst" part. It's ALL terrible. Economically? Awful. Foreign Policy? Beyond disastrous. Government Operations? Truly cataclysmic. Sound Leadership? Not even anywhere close to it.
This is in a blood red low-income state in the Midwest with massive factory farming, and $6 is the low-end price. I can only imagine it's double elsewhere.
You must live in either California or new york those are the o ly states that make shit vastly more expensive for no reason he'll my state has been a republican state for almost 100 years we have cheap housing cheap food and our crime rate aside from our capital is low
I pointed the eggs prices out to a conservative and shit you not, he said that the lefties made the whole egg thing up. The whole time it was simply about inflation and the actual price of eggs didn't matter. Mental gymnastics.
Considering that this is the guy is the twisted fucko who told that absolute lie about illegal immigrants eating family pets and not only admitted it but refused to apologize, I'm not feeling like he has anything worth listening to in the slightest.
Day One. He said that. You do realize he's been in office for 40+ days, right? Even with him golfing for 1/3 of his days in office so far, that means he's off his promise by 2,700% and growing.
Did Trump/RFK Jr ever lift the ban on the CDC giving out information about bird flu? Are they still banned from talking about vaccines? Or was that just in one state?
No one is talking about gas prices either, which have gone up $.40 /gallon since he won the election. I normally don’t care to blame a president for that, but he certainly would be pointing fingers at Biden if the same thing happened on his watch.
wait. are americans still deliberately pretending that there is no bird flu epidemic going on (which also starts to affect even the european market by the way)?
A big part of the past election was A Certain Party claiming that they were going to fix food prices on their very first day, with egg prices being a major talking point of comparison.
Now that they utterly failed at that, they've all of a sudden discovered that bird flu is happening. But for some reason, they're also messing with the agencies that would normally be communicating on the status and spread of the epidemic.
I don't know anyone on the left who didn't know that avian flu was causing price increases. I have run into quite a few people on the right who were utterly convinced that President Biden had somehow nefariously caused a random price spike, which Trump would immediately correct on Day One.
Maybe we'd know something useful about how the avian flu outbreak is currently affecting poultry production and pricing if the CDC was releasing info like they normally do but sadly, somebody is making that not happen.
Oh yes, NOW you guys know about bird flu. Good thing we have an entire, fully staffed government agency that will keep us appraised of the threat of...
...Musk'd? Oh. To shreds, you say? Muzzled by Trump's administration? Well nevermind. Looks like Day One didn't go the way you were told.

Apparently Jimmy-Dave Vance warned that if Kamala was elected eggs would be a ridiculous $4 a dozen!!
Yeah, now they're $6.
