Sacramento bakery struggles with skyrocketing egg prices

kcra.com

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Egg prices have surged from about $35 to $170 per case in a year, impacting small businesses like the Forgotten Bakery. The cost of a single egg has risen from 23 cents to $1.13. Owner Paul Dollar faces challenges not only with egg prices but also with availability, often spending hours searching for eggs. Additionally, potential new tariffs on produce could further increase costs for the bakery. Despite these pressures, Forgotten Bakery has only slightly raised sandwich prices and is offering egg-free options. Dollar emphasizes the importance of community support for local businesses during these tough economic times.
