Description:

The US is being affected by a nationwide egg shortage, and prices are surging.

A deadly outbreak of avian flu has tightened the worldwide egg supply, and inflation has forced up the price of eggs from $2 ($3.11 NZD) to $7 ($10.87).

US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says this makes it harder for US consumers to be able to purchase affordable protein, as they had turned to eggs when meat prices shot up.
