Social media posts have linked recent egg shortages to research into Covid antibodies in yolks from inoculated hens. There is no evidence that eggs treat Covid, or that a global conspiracy is trying to prevent the public from getting them.
told Full Fact that the USA and other countries “are dealing with what the World Organization for Animal Health and Food calls the largest outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza [HPAI] in history. There have been reports of temporary egg supply issues in scattered locations. Those shortages usually can be attributed to the detection of HPAI on a nearby egg farm and the emergency depopulation of that farm to help control spread.
“With costs soaring, many egg farmers have had no choice but to cease production rather than face the risk of losing money on every egg they produce. This, together with the added strain on supply due to the loss of some hens because of avian influenza, has led to the current shortage of eggs on retail shelves.” poultry board chair James Mottershead said “Ongoing, soaring production costs are putting the British poultry sector under immense pressure.
