Trader Joe's is one of a handful of grocery store chains that are placing restrictions on egg purchases to combat egg shortages and rising prices.

Budget-friendly chain Trader Joe’s is reportedly enforcing a strict limit on customers’ egg purchases, as posted signs at grocery locations across the country restrict customers to only one dozen per trip.

Trader Joe’s has issued a new policy in an attempt to keep up with increasing egg shortages. The nationwide grocer is now limiting customers to purchasing a single carton of eggs per day. Signs are being placed near egg cartons where customers are “kindly ask[ed]” to follow the protocol.

A Trader Joe's shopper says the store had no eggs and that there was a curtain over the egg area. Why is this, and how common is it?

Trader Joe’s has implemented a nationwide limit of one dozen eggs per customer per day due to ongoing supply issues caused by a bird flu outbreak. The policy aims to ensure more customers have access to eggs, according to company spokesperson Nakia Rohde.

As limited production continues to raise the price on eggs, Trader Joe's has enacted a limit on how many eggs any one customer can buy at a time.

The ongoing bird flu has caused shortages that are impacting the price and availability of eggs, leading Trader Joe's to impose a purchase limit.

Due to ongoing issues with the supply of eggs, we are currently limiting egg purchases to one dozen per customer, per day, in all Trader Joe’s stores across the country,” T
