Waffle House Removes Egg Surcharge as Prices Stabilize
UNITED STATES, JUL 2 – Waffle House removed its 50-cent egg surcharge after USDA efforts cut wholesale egg prices by 64% and retail prices by 27% from their peak amid avian flu recovery.
- Waffle House, a Georgia-based breakfast chain with over 2,000 locations, announced on Tuesday it dropped its 50-cent egg surcharge.
- The surcharge, added in February due to rising egg prices from a nationwide bird flu outbreak that culled tens of millions of hens, caused wholesale prices to hit record highs.
- Egg prices peaked at $6.23 per dozen in March and began steadily dropping in spring, reaching around $2.56 by early June, prompting Waffle House to remove the surcharge.
- Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins noted that lower egg prices are contributing to a decrease in overall food costs, providing some financial easing for families, while Waffle House shared the update on social media, calling it "Egg-cellent news."
- The surcharge removal indicates price stabilization amid ongoing USDA monitoring of bird flu, though economists warn supply shocks could recur if outbreaks return.
