Cage-free mandates are adding another kink to egg supply chains tangled by successive outbreaks of avian flu, making it difficult for grocers to restock shelves.
Retail egg prices soared last year as millions of birds were culled to slow the flu’s spread. NielsenIQ data shows that the amount of eggs on store shelves collapsed beginning in November and still hasn’t recovered. With prices at historic highs, supply and demand fundamentals have kicked in and will likely restore some balance—wholesale prices for conventional eggs are starting to fall as sticker shock scares off consumers.
The US Surface Transportation Board, which regulates railroads, had ordered Union Pacific to provide trains loaded with corn on December 30 after the poultry farm warned about running out of feed for its chickens and its customers’ dairy cattle. The farm said it needed to divert supplies away from its customers to feeding its chickens, which kill each other when they go hungry.
Foster Farms said in its December request to the regulator that Union Pacific’s delays had been ongoing since February. The Surface Transportation Board had previously issued a service order to Union Pacific in June after Foster Farms complained of a critical shortage of animal feed.
