Fox News: Egg shortages linked to avian flu, but that's not the only reason, some stores say

Some retailers, like Trader Joe's, are also transitioning to "cage free only" eggs, impacting supply.
Reports of limited egg availability have surfaced at various grocery stores, with some chains citing sourcing issues unrelated to avian flu. Shoppers are advised on how to check if their existing eggs are still good to use, emphasizing that eggs can often be safe beyond their expiration dates.
