(NewsNation) — Trader Joe’s has issued a new policy in an attempt to keep up with increasing egg shortages.

The nationwide grocer is now limiting customers to purchasing a single carton of eggs per day.

Signs are being placed near egg cartons where customers are “kindly ask[ed]” to follow the protocol.

“Due to ongoing issues with the supply of eggs, we are currently limiting customers to one customer, per dozen, per day,” the company said in a statement.

“We hope these limits will help to ensure that as many of our customers who need eggs are able to purchase them when they visit Trader Joe’s.”

The cost of eggs at Trader Joe’s is around the national average, at approximately $4.19.

In Chicago, a dozen large Grade A eggs were priced at $7.99, while eggs in Charlotte were $9.09 for 18 eggs.

In late January, the USDA projected the price of eggs to increase by 20.3% in 2025. Much of it is down to the spread of avian flu.

Should one chicken in a flock test positive for avian flu, the entire flock must be slaughtered for safety issues.
