This is the Big Take from Bloomberg News.

I'm Sarah Holder.

If you had to pick one ingredient to blame for the rising costs of a breakfast sandwich, it'd probably be.

Eggs.

Brian Moscajuri has worked in the egg industry for over a decade.

He's currently a vice president at an egg brokerage called Eggs Unlimited.

It also helps farms distribute their eggs to retail customers.

Right now is a rough time to be an egg lover.

As anyone who's been to the grocery store recently knows, the price of eggs has been uncomfortably high.

The most recent data we have shows that consumer prices in March hit a new record: over 620 a dozen, double what eggs cost a year ago.

Most people know, or think they know, what's behind that high price.

Bird flu.

Since late last year, a new wave of avian influenza has been tearing through American egg farms, killing off tons of egg-laying hens.

But there may have been other dynamics pushing up the price of eggs.

The Department of Justice has opened a probe to investigate potential price fixing by egg sellers, and consumer reactions also had an impact.

But consumers have hit their price ceiling.

Since February, they've stopped buying as many eggs, and wholesale prices have started to fall.

Consumers just haven't felt that yet.

The second most important part of the bacon, egg, and cheese, in my opinion, is the bread.

Bread has also outpaced inflation since twenty nineteen.
