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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Costco and Trader Joe’s are placing limits on egg purchases to prevent hoarding after viral videos show shoppers stockpiling hundreds of eggs at a time.
