Egg prices in the U.S. have dipped since the Trump administration unveiled a plan to combat bird flu and reduce costs, according to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Tuesday.

“A good piece of news that we just got in the last day or two is that the average cost of a dozen eggs has now gone down $1.85 since we announced our plan about a week-and-a-half ago,” Rollins told reporters outside the White House.
