Eggs are expensive, if you can even find them at your local grocery store, and prices are only expected to climb this year. The main factor that has sent egg prices rising is the bird flu, which may draw a whole new concern to your mind: are eggs even safe to eat right now?

The ongoing bird flu outbreak is driving up egg prices, which had led to a nationwide shortage. When buying eggs, choose only refrigerated eggs and refrigerate them immediately once they are brought home.
