A major egg theft occurred in central Pennsylvania, where thieves stole a truck carrying 100,000 eggs amid the spread of the bird flu virus in the United States. Due to the ongoing bird flu outbreak, egg prices have surged to record highs.
The stolen eggs, valued at approximately $40,000, were from a farm in Franklin County. Authorities have reported the theft, and the company is cooperating with local law enforcement in their investigation. The company issued a statement expressing their commitment to resolving the matter quickly and with seriousness.
In recent months, the U.S. egg industry has faced a crisis, as millions of chickens have died due to the bird flu, leading to a supply shortage and soaring egg prices.
