As the price of eggs continues to rise, so does the cost of other foods that contain eggs as an ingredient.

As previously reported by The Epoch Times, egg prices have been on the rise since the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), also known as the avian flu or bird flu, which hit the United States last year. An estimated 58 million birds have died or been culled due to the current outbreak, according to the CDC.
