Trader Joe’s has set a one-dozen egg limit per day for customers due to egg shortages caused by the bird flu. A company spokesperson says this will help stores prevent their shelves from going bare. Avian flu resulted in the deaths of more than 40 million egg-laying birds in 2024.

“Due to ongoing issues with the supply of eggs, we are currently limiting egg purchases to one dozen per customer, per day, in all Trader Joe’s stores across the country,” a Trader Joe’s spokesperson told CNN. “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.”
