Jan 19 (Reuters) - The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) should examine high egg prices for signs of price gouging from top egg companies, a farm group said, as Americans continue to pay more than ever for the household staple.
U.S. regulators, farmers, and industry have often argued in recent years about the power of top agriculture firms to set prices and drive up what consumers pay for groceries, such as when the price of beef skyrocketed in 2021.
For eggs just get to the source for the eggs. Get a chicken. Or have someone nearby that sells eggs. Never buy them in a grocery store. Outside of huge cities, farm fresh or local eggs aren't that hard to find. Hell I'd guess there's probably an app for that and if not I just gave someone a business idea.
